I needed a summer job but the economy in my town stunk and I was having no luck. I was desperate.My folks were worried about me and we brainstormed on... evening about places I could look for work. Finally my mom hit upon an idea, I could move to Utah and live with my grandmother for the Summer. I would probably have better luck looking for work there than in my hometown in Oregon. It made sense. So, we called grandma and she agreed to take care of me for the Summer. I took the bus to Ogden, Utah.

Why-" You fought in the Pacific!!" he turned his head back. "You were never any where near Europe in your whole life!".
