WHOSE KILROY????

As I was growing up during WWII I just figured Kilroy was part of the war.  "Kilroy was written on everything."....not only in the US, but around the world.  He is so famous that he is engraved in the National War Memorial in Washington DC, in a small alcove.  From the WWII generation he brings back many memories.  Younger folks .....those born after 1950 may not remember.

James Kilroy from Halifax, Mass. was inspector at a ship yard.....his job was to check on the number of bolts completed by each person.  He chalked them with lumber chalk, So they would not get erased he drew the picture of the funny looking character looking over the fence and wrote his name....."Kilroy was here. "Off shift inspectors would come through and count them later  .Ships were leaving so fast, sometimes his marking did not get cleaned off and soon the saying was seen all over the world.  Service men picked up the message and spread it over Europe and the South Pacific. Soon everyone was asking...."Who is Kilroy?" Service men continued leaving their mark all over the world.......Osama Ben Laden's home, Statue of Liberty, Mt. Everest, Arc de Triomphe and even in the dust on the moon! We should bring 'ole Kilroy back!  Wonder what happened to HUBA-HUBA?  If a cute guy said that to you, you smiled and your heart beat faster.

The Pannier are off to "THE Barn" for the weekend  Pam and I did an hour in the pool this morning.  Tonight off to watch Annie cheer for the first time this year..  She was invited to Skyline's homecoming this weekend and to Brighton's next weekend and some poor girls never get invited at all.....not fair.  Yes, fall weather and football games go together.
