Picture of the Day for 9/9/2011. I just came across a 3-page autobiography that my mother wrote in 1984, In it, she describes my dad leaving for Guam during World War ll on a troop ship with thousands of other young men. Here's a quote that cracked me up- "Bob remembers that music was piped all over the ship to ease the boredom. Jo Stafford's record was played over and over and her song, "It Could Happen to You," wasn't too comforting since enemy submarines were nearby throughout the journey to Guam." I had never heard of Jo Stafford or this particular song. I was intrigued so I went ahead and purchased one of her CDs.
