Were the home people to unite in answering such a
query today mighty chorus would go up to cheer the
boys who have gone off TO various armies.
Perhaps the big fellow wasn't always easy to pry out
of bed in the morning. Maybe he had irritating ways OF
teasing Sis. But how all miss him! How seshly we
miss him
When no could make the ice chest stay closed he
fixed the lock- When the grammar school brother COULDN'T
do his decimas, he became willing teacher When Sis
needed an escort he was at hand When the baby locked
himself into the bathroom alone he rescued the prisoner
by climbing thru the window. When the doctor was called
for grandmother midnight he hurried to the drug store
to get the prescription filled When mother travelled ne
bought tickets and checked the baggage and put her
the train.
And when. at his countrys summons, tram swallowed
up his khakad FORM all wept bitteryexcept father
who tried to set an example in courage.
But even then nobody realized how much everybody
was going miss him. We Just beginning to find out
