Monday beautiful warm day 70's. I washed in am and baked pumpkin pie. Did some sewing. Went to Marilyn's WMU at night. Jean Romans mission to Okinawa had the program. 10 below in Oneonta, NY.
Comment: Quite busy, bet the pie was great, I can almost taste it now..I spent 18 months on Okinawa in 1958 and 1959...about 300 natives a year were getting killed in the mountains picking up brass from the still-live munitions from all the shelling during our attack on the island. People were also living and dying in the streets. I saw several corpses. The Okinawans hated out guts...now it's a major tourist attraction....and they still hate our guts.....http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/15/world/asia/okinawan-views-on-us-military-presence-are-nuanced.html
