Karen I don't have much of A story but I was almost 3 and I was at our house and heard my daddy and uncle fred talking about pearl and him maybe having to go back in the army. We were standing at the barn lot gate and I can remember grabbing daddy's leg and holding when they were talking about him going. He was 44 and had 2 children so he didn't go , he was in the first world war.Jean and Joan can tell you more than I can.their dad and his two brothers went in. bill barrett
