  1. The Good Ole Days

    Every once in a while, I’m swept up in nostalgia and the very real memories of my youth: floating lazily in a cold, spring-water pond snugly tucked inside a multi-patched rubber inner tube; being chased by the gander in my grandparents' backyard; standing in front of my Aunt Mildred’s store drinking orange Nehi soda while listening to the firemen's band marching down the street; oh, and happily playing badminton in the backyard with my brother, while Dad sat in his multi-colored, nylon-strap lawn chair smoking asbestos-filtered Kent cigarettes.

  2. 'Grand Illusion' is polished up for 75th anniversary ✭✭✭✭

    Opening Friday for a week's run at the Gene Siskel Film Center, Jean Renoir's"Grand Illusion" marches in the opposite direction of grand set pieces or visual flamboyance. Its moments of poetry are many but (properly) fleeting, like the shot of the German farm girl sitting alone at a cottage dining table where members of her family, casualties of the Great War, used to eat and talk and plan the day. There may be nobility in the way we live and die in battle, and between battles, but in the end, someone is left alone.

  3. YMCA manager gets 2nd chance to help aging veteran see World War II memorial

    About eight years ago, Sam Rea planned to take his father to see the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. He thought the trip would be an opportunity to honor his dad, but also a chance to bond and get answers to questions he'd always wanted to ask.

  4. Eustis backs off chance to win lawsuit against John Keating over flawed development

    Consider this scenario: You've been involved in a vicious lawsuit for five years. It has cost you $1.5 million, and that could double if it goes on. You know you're right. Your opponent is faltering financially, and there's an excellent chance the judge...

  6. 'Sprat' Reeves shares his history, and Guilford's

    I showed up at the door of a Greenway home I've admired for years. Charles B. Reeves — who goes by "Sprat" — greeted me with his enthusiastic welcome: "Delighted." For the next 90 minutes I tried to take notes about his version of the history of North Baltimore's Guilford.

  7. 'Right wing' doesn't equal 'terrorist'

    "If history were to repeat itself," warned President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his 1944 State of the Union address, "and we were to return to the so-called normalcy of the 1920s, then it is certain that even though we shall have conquered our enemies on the battlefields abroad, we shall have yielded to the spirit of fascism here at home."

  8. Memorial Day restoration should forsake three-day weekends

    The primary purpose of Memorial Day is no longer to honor Americans killed in battle while serving their country. It's to cater to clucks who want a three-day weekend to better facilitate fun.

  9. Zeppelin fragments once were popular souvenirs

    I wrote <a href="http://www.mcall.com/news/local/white/mc-bw-graf-zeppelin-20130329%2C0%2C3501057.column">Saturday</a> about a Hanover Township, Northampton County, man who has a piece of what he believed to be the Hindenburg's skin.
    I wrote Saturday about a Hanover Township, Northampton County, man who has a piece of what he believed to be the Hindenburg's skin. Once I saw the item and the accompanying letter — which was dated two years before the Hindenburg was destroyed...

  10. Mothers aid military personnel in the names of their fallen sons

    They didn't know each other before the war. But loss united them, and friendship helps sustain them.
    They didn't know each other before the war. But loss united them, and friendship helps sustain them. "Every one of us wants our child to be remembered," said Sue Pollard, who, like her friend Debi Win'E, lost a son in Iraq. "Our main thing is to do...

  11. Echoes From The Past

    In early April I was privileged to view a televised news story celebrating the arrival of the first cell phone 40 years ago. That antiquated gadget was a large, cumbersome piece of equipment &mdash; quite expensive and only affordable to a limited number of persons &mdash; in comparison to the small, refined cell phones people carry and depend upon today in a world that grows more hectic every year.

  12. Group tracking down fallen veterans for Central Florida war memorial

    There's an old army barracks ballad, "Old Soldiers Never Die." Likely you're familiar with it thanks to Gen. Douglas MacArthur. The old war horse famously quoted it in his farewell speech: <em>Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.</em>
