I had two posts about Glenn Miller this year, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Both were in American History. Sunday’s post was in Music Appreciation in 2023. This year, I figured that the incident was a historical event, so it should be covered in American History.

My parents were of that generation. My father was stationed in Australia during the war, Townsville QLD for an extent. I wear what I suspect is his old wristwatch, a 1940 Hamilton. It might have come from the PX; the band is olive drab and black.

You have a great weekend, what’s left of it, and a joyful holiday season.
