The Other Casualty Of War



This is a photo of my mother in August, 1941,
leading Prince & Queenie to the auction block.
This was traumatic.

The United States was on the verge of entering
Word War 11 and the government had taken over
their land in New Brighton, Minnesota, to build
a munitions plant. This was traumatic
.
The National Guard was called out and did not
even allow the families to gather the produce out
of their gardens! This was traumatic.

We live with this, to this day.

The blessing is that none of Dorothy's 
four brothers perished in the war.
