Just before the war, everything was quiet, and I thought normal, all over the world. This was the sound of radio in our living room, when I lived on Hollis and Waushakum Blvd, and went to Memorial School.. The fabulous Dorsey brothers had their own radio show and through their music and the sound of the sax, I dreamed of the world I saw in the movies. In those days the fire department on Hollis Street blew its whistle to call for volunteer firemen, to announce the 5 pm quitting time, or for us kids to go home for dinner.... and to announce an important event...like the day the 2nd World War ended!
