My wife and I spent the weekend with her Dad (I call him Pops) up in LaPorte.
My wife hit the sack and I stayed up a good part of Saturday night as he spilled out story after story of his years growing up in Holland.
Most memories were of the war and his days, motorcycle racing!
And he produced these cool bits of memorabilia.
He and his brothers collected many items from around their farm.
While in boarding school, at age 13, he repurposed some of the items to be useful around the home.
A few items survived.
The one is a vase he turned from an artillery shell.
The other is an ashtray from the same.
When I have some extra time I will try to source info on the Markings.
If any of you have some background feel free to add our input.
