A Rose for Rebeka

I was born in Spokane Washington in 1949 and soon after my Father took job on the coast in the little town of Houghton Washington. This is where my memories begin. I remember all the men there telling their stories of action in W.W. 2 and Korea. Times were just starting to change in the world. I am now in my 70's myself and it makes me laugh to think about it. But I still recall the stories and the way of life was much simpler then, as it was before cell phones and computers, and if you didn't have a church key you couldn't drink a beer or a pop.
