Sofa Table 70" x 30" deep x 30" High Art Deco Furniture Continued from ....... My Uncle drove a landing craft to the beaches of D-Day. He was treated for Battle Fatigue in Philly and then sent to the Pacific in readiness. The atom bombs were dropped when he was cruising on a Destroyer bound for the anticipated Japan Invasion. In lieu of waiting months for a passage back to the States, he hitched a ride on a Battleship. Thus ending his service. I was young when my Uncle died. He was in his early fifties. He seemed to wither. A once strong sight to me (he boxed in the Navy) shrunk before my eyes. His Irish charisma waining more each visit. I now think, "Did he see things no memory could serve? What sights brought on battle fatigue?" I think of these things when I hold that Disston D-8 which has waited so patiently for use. And I think of those that missed out - doing the things that were not their choice, but had to be done. And freedom - yes we love it! And I choose to use mine to accept no compromise in my work. While I am strong. To lose in one way (say; money!) on to gain much in another. The freedom of expression. Tom Hannah P.O. Box 4054 Estes Park, CO 80517 970.586.2741
