20. Besides my dad, who I wrote about in another reply here,

my hubby's mother and father were *both* in WWII. Father was in intelligence and his mother was a WAC Hubby says they hated Germans with a passion borne only of what they'd seen during their war years... tho they kept most of it from the kids. His father kept the military secrets clear into death, although he paid the price in his later years.

I wish my mother-in-law were still alive and vital enough to see what was going on today. Such a spitfire! She'd grab hold of one of these magats and make sure they'd wish never to have been born! (LOL) She was a force to be reckoned with. Spent her entire life fighting the male patriarchy system. First, as a WAC, then as a oil wildcatter. Finally settled in teaching Geology and ran the water board and environmental protection for her area in Texas. She could be so scary to guys that the leader of the band at my wedding never played... he ran into her first! (LOL)
