Dateline – Long Beach CA

Mary is retired and widowed so she comes by The Potholder almost every day.
“I got married in San Francisco, my husband was shipping out. There was a war going on. You lived fast in those days.”

“I graduated in ’43. They gave the boys a diploma if they volunteered their senior year. A lot of them didn’t make it back I’m sorry to say.”
