I don't seem to have your offline address. 

I was just looking at my Ration Book yesterday.  I was in grade school.  Everyone in the family got their own book.  Stamps for each type of commodity ration such as sugar.  I still have stamps left unused in my book.  My mother signed for  my book, but it has all my personal information at the time on it.

We lived on a farm and had an A Gas  stamp  on our car we used to go to town which meant 20 gallons ( I believe) a month - but my dad who helped build Camp Adair had a C or D stamp which meant much more and he car pooled as well.

Life was interesting then.
