Default Re: HOLLANDIA (JAYAPURA) in 1944

Hello Jeff,

She thought California was great, she didn't care too much for Dakota, too cold for a city girl. In a small town like Parker back then, they didn't take well to newcomers, I never knew if it was her accent, or the fact they thought the hometown boy brought some alien from overseas into their circle of life. But, when we walked together, all the men's eyes would just about pop out of their heads, and all the plain Jane local girls hated her. looking back, I wouldn't have changed a thing.
