Fall reminds me of Cheatham Annex
Cheatham Annex seemed like it was in the middle of nowhere but was really part of Yorktown Naval Weapons Station. Our times there have already been described, on my blog, but one thing that may have been omitted is that we were fishing off the dock and Mary discovered, for the first time, that fishing sometimes kills fish. She didn't take the revelation well. On occasion pictured, we shared a cabin with the Brady children and their mother, Louise - fellow POW family that lived in King's Grant. L-R Richard Brady, my little brother Michael, Richard's younger sister (her name is dancing somewhere near the edge of my memory), my little sister Mary and me. Tell me there wasn't a tv in that cabin. Two of those kids look hypnotized by something. My tan and haircut look pretty cute, though. Mom said it made me look like Twiggy :). Remember Twiggy? She's aged well, by the way... she was a judge on one of those reality shows - the modeling one with Tyra Banks. Only saw it in passing. Not a reality show fan. Watch a lot of Cold Case Detectives and American Justice, though.
