Memorial Day tribute to our servicemen and women serving overseas when a moment from home meant a doughnut and a hot cup of coffee

I was a doughnut dolly. Back in the day, I served with the U.S. Army Special Services in Livorno, Italy. My job was to make coffee and play pool with the troops, set up entertainment and gourmet restaurant tours. And make cookies. I whipped up hundreds and hundreds of cookies. Chocolate chip. And doughnuts, too. I got help from the mess hall sergeant, a bespectacled guy from the Midwest who…

April 11, 1912 and the TITANIC sets sail from Queenstown, Ireland -- meet an actress on board and find out if she survived...

Did you know an actress survived the Titanic and then made a movie about it?   I adore the movie Titanic. Every time I come across the film when I’m flipping channels, I can’t resist stopping for a few minutes and watching Rose and Jack. No matter where we are in the story, it always grabs me. But there’s another Titanic film I bet you don’t know about. A film starring… A survivor of that…

The Tooth Fairy took on a new role during the Civil War. She fought long and hard to help the soldiers keep their teeth, not take them. If a soldier had a toothbrush, it was homemade. Brushes didn’t show up as commercially made until 1885. Most used a ‘chewing stick’ made from a twig from a tree or bush. Chomping on hardtack didn’t help. Called tooth-dullers by the soldiers, they tried to…
