This pre-launch show was recorded to share a taste of what will be included in the menu of future shows.  It began with the idea to read all my father's love letters home from his training to his service in France and Germany and his arrival back home.  It has been growing by leaps and bounds into a trip back in time where I will talk about the what the world was like and what was happening to those who kissed their loved ones not knowing if that would be the last kiss.  I will be talking about the women, the children, the movies and music, and everything that was part of the lives of those who were affected by the war.  My goal is to make sure we do not allow this important part of world history to disappear.  There is much to be remembered, much we all can learn, much we can share.  Every single one of us has family members with stories, and I want to bring these stories to life again. I want people to talk to me about their memories.  My fascination with WWII began when I read "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank and I leave you with one of her quotes: "We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same."
