In The Mood - Glenn Miller Classic 1940 - A Tribute To My Father A WW-2

My father never talked much about his times in the servise but he made lite of the odd fact’s that came his way. He was in a pool drawing held by the Local . for a chance to escort Betty Grable to church & got to be one lucky Joe that Sunday. When he was going through bootcamp an other movie personality was making his secondround; who was it, well it was Stanley Clements. Dad had said he was a smart-ass & his tuff-guy cockey attitude got Stanley a lot of washing pot’s & pan’s on K-P on his second round in camp. You may remember Stanley from movies like “Going My Way“ as one of the two kids that stole a Turkey & slapped the other kid a lot. Stanley was in some of The Dead-End Kids shorts & played mostly Gangsters types.
