Things I
Brought Home and Kept
This is
from a magazine called The Canal Zoners, August issue. (and thanks to
Bert and Dot for bringing this to our attention)
Mike
Herbert was a dog handler whilst serving in the Canal Zone .
One of the items he brought back was his dog’s nameplate (BUSTER) which was
over the kennel.
Mind
you, he had to leave all his shirts behind to make room in the suitcase! He still has it on view above the work bench
in the garage. Michael C. Herbert RE

A very good time was had with much laughter and no broken bones.
