Thanks for the reminder--I had totally forgotten that my 3rd Grandfather (not related by blood or marrage, but was one who took in and helped raise my dad during the late 1920s and till he joined the military) anyway--he too was an air raid warden in Kingsville Texas. He had an off-white WW1 Doughboy helmet with the Civil DEfense and Wardens logos painted on it. I havent seen that helmet for many many years.

PS, there is a huge thread of these stories here on the forums somewhere--ill see if I can find them later and "bump" them back here so you can see them.

PSS, I havent forgotten to give your questions to the Sarge. He works night shift and hasnt finished writing his answers yet--but should be finished sometime this week--or within a week. At any rate--ill let you know by posting them here on the forums where you originally asked. [img]smile.gif[/img]
