I still have my ration book from WWII. Some of the stamps are missing. It still has the water stain where I dropped it in the wash pot in the back yard. That was probably in 1943 or 1944. I walked the 2 miles to school when my parents would let me. They were afraid I would find a way to get in trouble on the way. The school building for my first 3 years was an old two-story building with no indoor plumbing. Our lunch room was an old quonset hut, but boy did we have good food. We never had a car then. Only a team of mules and a wagon. My dad bought his first truck, a '36 Chevrolet in 1946.
