OPeration Dragoon D+2 nead Frejus Fr. L-141 was shunted off to flush out some germans in the Frejus area. we halted for more orders, when a little girl came up to see the American Gis. A buddy got oout his phrase book to axk for eggs! It had the singular euf for one egg. The french don,t use that miuch. He tries it any way. The proper way is to aks for eggs sounds llike( Le zoo) We did not know it at that time.

so he gives euf- no response so he euf eufs ! She shakes her head and goes home and cmoes back with a pup ! The buddy says NO euf euf ! She says as she ppoints to the pup euf euf and shakes her head yes. He could not refuse her offer.

How ever, when he saw she would miss her pup he gave it back before we left.

Dear Kitty: This time I am dead serious and I know how busy you are but I want you at your first opportunity to take some time and go to goggle and type in this search request: The Day the Thunderbird Cried. That is the title of a book just out, written by my comrade in arms David Israel a West Coast Jewish soldier, historian and scholar. My copy of the book is in the mail but has not arrived as yet. I was one of five consultants for the author so he is sending me a dedicated copy which I will cherish. Anyway, you need to read the first goggle reference to the above search-----then look at the links at the bottom and read what you care to. This is why I do my lectures and why the commission is real to me. Let me know what you think of the Medford Mail articles in goggle. Russ
