When she was 17 years old she lost her left arm by an accident.
In 1945 the US-Army liberated parts of Glauchau and she got some offers to go to USA with them. She doesn't do so.


Glauchau was divided because the Russians also liberated Glauchau. Nearby my home there was the border between the Americans and the Red Army.

In 1946 my mother married my father and they got 3 children. My father survived the war even though he did a dangerous job during the war- he was a mine-sweeper. The English Army sent him home...no prisoner of war...he was to young.

Thanks Mom!

Happy Birthday to your other Tom, and thanks for sharing some of your history with us.
Grant

Location: Huntsville, Alabama (Heart of Dixie)
Pre: Hot Shower
Strop: 3" black latigo bench top
Soap: RazoRock XXX
Brush: AOS silvertip (my first brush, a gift from my wonderful wife)
Scuttle: SWK XL (white)
Razor: Sears 1865
Post: Dickenson's Witch Hazel
AS: Clubman Vanilla

I was up the better part of the night in the operating room. Didn't get much sleep and have a busy day ahead of me. Thought it would be a quick shave and then to office -- but then slowed down and enjoyed the quiet, peaceful morning! I just love the scent of the RazorRock XXX and the Sears is a "fun" little razor to use. Used my AOS silvertip. My wife gave it to me last Christmas, and it "started it all" (I think she really regrets it now!!! ). Two passes, and then off to the hospital. I'm awaiting a restored W&B "Maxterpiece," so this will probably be my last shave before it arrives.

Have a great weekend!!!Attachment 108404
