Grace Thank you so much for the title of the book about the war years in Chicago. I will certainly put that on my wish list too. I lived on the north side of Chicago I met my future husband at the Aragon Ballroom with a group of friends who were saying good-bye to several loved ones, my husband-to-be included. I'm 83 years old but I remember the pink dress that I wore too. Wonderful memories of sad times. We were the lucky ones - my husband came back from two tours of the Pacific. Dorothy
