August 13, 200618 yr Sorry, I can't play this game. My 75-year-old mother was an Army brat and her first husband was in the Army. So she had the misfortune of making 62 moves in her life, including living at Pearl Harbor from 1937-39 and twice in Germany, first in 1946 and again in 1954. Some of her family's friends died in the attack on Pearl Harbor and when she arrived in West Germany in 1946, she vividly recalls riding trains through its devastated cities. When the trains stopped in those cities amid the rubble, children came running up to the train begging for candy, scraps and anything else the American soldiers would throw out of the train. And then she visited the still-intact concentration camps.... She still sheds a tear to this day when recalling her experiences in West Germany.

August 29, 200618 yr My family currently resides in Gahanna, about two miles north of Port Columbus.
