Another said that in 1943, her mother, a new wife, rode the train from New Orleans to Los Angeles to be with her father before he went off to the war in the Pacific. She said, "Mom, with no child in tow, made the trip sitting on her suitcase; no gallant GI offered his coach seat."

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
