This is a really interesting thread.
As a 13-14 year old kid, I made money doing yard work for one of our neighbors.
He was a nice man who would invite me into his house for a cold Root Beer after
I had finished my work and ask about how I was doing in school or what my plans
were. Just a nice man who was very quite but seemed just a bit "off".
Some years later, I mentioned him to boss at work and he told me that my neighbor
had served in "Army Intelligence" during the war and had been captured and tortured
by the Gestapo. I wish that I taken the time to learn more about him.
