Sweetwater is where there was a textile mill when I was a child and my parents would drive there from our town of Maryville to buy wool scraps. My mother made hooked rugs and other items from the wool scraps. I would be interested in your "P" story, very interested. I have been walking unassisted by crutch or cane or walker for several weeks now. Can walk up to a mile at a time. Slowly but surely. Am riding my bicycle in the basement on a stationary trainer device. Stay well. Ed I had not thought of Sweetwater TN for years but I lived in nearby Loudon in my Carson-Newman College days.

My memories began with hearing my folks talking about Pearl Harbor (I know I had some questions regarding why Pearl's needed a harbor). The memories were interrupted for a time when my Dad died in Jan, 1942, and WW memories continued when I was "resettled" in Sweetwater. I hope this finds you well and ambulatory. Glad you "enjoyed" your Percocet. One day I will tell you the story of my relationship to P. paul Edward (well it used to be!), I enjoyed all your writing especially the memories of WWII.
