1945: VJ DAY

AUGUST, 1945: I REMEMBER IT WELL. I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. WHEN THE NEWS CAME, I WAS ON THE FRONT PORCH AT MY BUDDY DON SLABICKI'S SYLVAN AVENUE HOME. IT IS REALLY INTERESTING HOW WE CAN RECALL WHERE WE WERE WHEN A MEMORABLE EVENT OCCURS. I RECALL THAT I WAS PLAYING OUTSIDE OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE NEWS CAME OVER THE RADIO ABOUT THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR. WHEN JOHN KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED I WAS ON THE PHONE TRACING AT ORDER IN MY NEW BRUNSWICK OFFICE.
