  • Jimmy Stewart, David Niven, and Clark Gable are three stars that survived serving in combat roles in WW2. Musician Glenn Miller joined the Air Corps and entertained the troops. MIA, later declared dead when the plane transporting went missing while crossing the English Channel. So much for being sheltered. John Wayne did not volunteer to join the military like the others mentioned.








  • Grade 5 or 6, teacher was introducing a project about the wisdom inherent in proverbs (not biblical, traditional sayings). In discussion I opined there was no wisdom in contradictions like “look before you leap” versus “he who hesitates is lost” and “many hands make light work” versus “too many cooks spoil the broth”, the wisdom was knowing which proverb applies to the situation at hand. Sent to the principal and received a beating with a paddle for being a disruptive smart aleck.
