<P>Jeremiah Shea's barn and WW II</P>
<P>I hope this will not bring forth flames about the war in Iraq, BUT...</P>
<P>On day Doug (1908-1997) and I were playing outside when we saw a convoy of
Army vehicles traveling east on HWY 20 past our house; the Jeremia Shea
house. They pulled over to the side of the road and went into our barn to
take a break.</P>
<P>We went to the barn and talked to the soldiers. I don't recall what was
said, and I don't know where they were going. I do recall that I made them
welcome, and told them to stay as long as they wished. Pretty damned bold
for a 6 year old kid!</P>
<P>Keep in mind that this was durring WW II, and they could have been headed to
Germany!</P>
<P>VE and VJ days were not long in following this visit by our US Army.</P>
