Old Martin Dvorak was my Babe Ruth coach. He never had any boys but loved baseball. He was a taskmaster who'd pull you out of a game mid inning if you made an error. We were always focused on his topless Hula girl tattoos. I believe he died about 20 yeas ago. The Iowa City Press Citizen would always interview him around December 1st...

My Dad was at Pearl Harbor......in 1946 I've often posted about my uncles who were older than my Dad. They all came back, including the B25 pilot and the Sherman tank driver.
