Mike Watson: A Four Star Family, World War II Remembering on Father's Day: His father, Carl Watson, and three uncles served in World War II. Almost miraculously, all returned from the war, and none of them were wounded Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Mike Watson In honor of our dad, Carl Watson, and our uncles, Cameron, Hugh and William, all of whom served overseas in World War II, I offer here a short front page item from The Adair County News, 9 June 1943. "A Four Star Family--When William Watson left today for Fort Benjamin Harrison to enter the Armed Forces, his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Watson, of Inroad, became the head of a "four star family." perhaps the only one in all of Adair County. William's three brothers were already in service and he was the only remaining son that Mr. & Mrs. Watson could offer to Uncle Sam. Cameron Watson is station in Louisiana, Carl and Hugh Watson are stationed at camps in Washington State..."There were undoubtedly other four star families in Adair County before the World War ended. In lieu of a "candle in the window" the families of servicemen obtained and proudly posted in a front window a card with luminescent stars, one for each one from that household serving the United States of America. Our grandparents, Milton and Mollie Reeder Watson, had at least two cards with the stars. No one knows what happened to the one with four starts, but the photo is of the one with two stars, representing the first two sons who went to war. Thankfully, all four of the Watson boys came home and none were wounded in action. A miracle, one might say. So, in honor of Father's Day and Flag Day (June 14th), Salute! - Mike Watson 2013-06-16 11:29:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History
Carol Perkins: VBS was more creative in old days In the old days, Vacation Bible Schools more creative, than they are in today's world. She remembers it as an exciting time, when youngster were looking for more to do, when kids lives weren't so highly organized. Carol Perkins writes in today's column. 'Young people are very busy. They are scheduled and their activities are kept on calendars by anxious parents who sometimes run sideways. Life is such a whirlwind in most families, I am glad I don't have to keep up. When I visit my grandchildren, I am worn out from all their activities.' She adds, and strikes a chord with CM. The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Step right up - the county fair By Carol Perkins Not long after school ends, many churches begin their Bible schools. There was a time when a child went to his own church's Bible school and then also went with his friends to their Bible schools. By the time June had ended, every child in the county could sing "This Little Light of Mine" backwards.

Happy Tail - Peg's Memories of her Dutch Dad on Father's Day Perfect for Father's Day, 2013. It was a story Peg Schaeffer says she's had in her head for weeks, but it didn't come out until how - at a perfect time. It's one of happy memories of her incredibly wonderful Dutch born father. It's sure to strike a chord with every reader whose Father is now gone, of unforgettable memories of Fathers they are so proud of today, would love to spend more time with now that they can't; yearn to take down their every word now. And wondered why they didn't then. Click to read this entire story with photo(s), likely to be someone's nomination for the best ever CM story, and sure to make most readers' Top 10 ever. - EW The next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tail - It Takes A Village By Peg Schaeffer My father was born in Arnhem, Holland on April 8, 1899. I inherited my love of animals, especially horses, from him. While in Holland he served on the Queen's Calvary. I always listened to stories about Queen Juliana. As a little girl I remember riding on my stick horse as he played "Marching to the Coldstream Guards" on the record player. He would tell me the various moves the horses would perform during different parts of the music and I would do the maneuvers on my stick horse.

Tom Chaney: A Merrier Companion there never was Of Writers And Their Books: "A Merrier Companion There Never Was". Tom reviews Atchafalaya Houseboat by Gwen Carpenter, who together with Calvin Voisin, "a merrier companion there never was," decided in 1970 to recreate the vanishing life of their ancestors in the Atchafalaya Swamp.
