#52 World War II Pin-Up and "A Last Will"
Manage episode 424277855 series 2888456
Two classic pin-up calendar pages with a hand written message on them are what Sally started with for this story. In this episode, we discuss a bit of pin-up art history and then get into the writing on the pages. Five sailors on the U.S.S. Mission Bay signed this "last will" and we'll tell you what we found out about these men. As most WW II Veterans have passed away, and Memorial Day was just weeks ago, we felt this was a form of remembrance --with a bit of a twist.
Music in this episode: Cattle Call - Eddy Arnold. From: Internet Archive.
