I love this! I had a great uncle who was some kind of reporter in Daytona Beach -- he also wrote erotica but no one will tell me his pen name.
He was in the Navy in the Korean War. I remember him as a Shel Silverstein character. He looked like a Gay Man from Florida, long shorts, beard, tank. Later we found pictures of him and a man picnicking in Korea, their arms around each other. My mother said, "That's how good friends acted back then."

Oh my gosh! I love this so much! I’m going to imagine our uncles were great friends.
Yes!
Spike, thank you for sharing and inspiring others to do the same. My favorite icebreaker when meeting a new person is to ask them 'what's your story'?
