This is wonderful, and I enjoy seeing the work and your narrative. I'm handicapped by my ability to pass on the story, because I had an uncle who was in the European Theater of WW II and he died 2 years ago. He would never tell us anything except for the good times he had with his buddies. I know he went through hell and back, but he would never tell us the whole story. He was in North Africa and then over to Sicily, pulled back to the UK and was in the second wave ( 5:00 PM) at Normandy D-Day. Wounded, sent back to the UK to get patched up, and sent back to the mainland where he was in what is now Slovakia when the war ended. Thanks for telling your story. It is very important to everyone in your family and beyond.

What a thrill for you. I can imagine they have so much more impact in person. I now own a copy of your Dad's memoir of his time as a war artist and it is such a good account of war and what it meant to be an artist during a very dark time.

Your blog site is remarkable and rich. Only this week have I built a blog site of my own! You can see an early posting at www.hedgebrook.org. where I have been a writer-in-residence. Your new photo page on Facebook is a good next step for you. Of course I "like" it - and am proud do so.

]]> Comment on Why I Went to Occupy Wall Street and What I Saw by Pat Tricia Johnson http://susanreep.com/blog/2012/01/why-i-went-to-occupy-wall-street-and-what-i-saw/comment-page-1/#comment-2636 Pat Tricia Johnson Thu, 05 Jan 2012 02:19:46 +0000 http://susanreep.com/blog/?p=5552#comment-2636 Susan - your blog is so timely. I must admit that my information about the "Occupy Wall Street" movement had been limited to the nightly news and a a few editorials. A few days ago, my ignorance began to bother me. I started reading analyis' and several published articles about the movement - and then - your blog appears. The photos (alone) tell a compelling story. Your article is worthy of being published in the "The New York Times", "Los Angeles Times" (doesn't it bug you that we can't underline or italicize names of newspapers :) or any other major newspaper. Despite the many problems that face our nation - isn't it great that the people in this country can still 'revolt'? Susan – your blog is so timely.
