European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - December 11, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday december 11, 1987 the stars and stripes Landers deaf Ann Landers t have a very strange coincidence on my hands. Since it stalled with you. I Hope you will help me out by priming his let Ter. My name is Daisy. Like the Daisy whose letter appeared in your column a few weeks ago i Loo have been married 1 2 years to a Man who chose the Navy As his career. We also have three. Children 11,7 and 5, and live in Newport . The other Daisy f live in Virginia since daily s desperate letter appeared in your column i have received Many phone Calls from friends All Over the United slates telling me slut things can t be that bad and begging me not to shoot myself. Although in is a wonderful feeling to know that so Many people care about me especially folks i Haven t heard from in a Good Many years i do Hope that you will print my letter and Tel them that i Daisy Gil More originally from Brooklyn and now living in Newport ., am just Fine. I admit hat military life is far from wonderful at times but i make the most of it and am quite Happy. Thank you for helping to set the record straight. Another Daisy who appreciates the kindness of friends Cardaisy Hen s your left or with my apologies for the Leone no Taco. Unfortunately this sort of thing happens More often iban you might think. I sometimes Chance names Gra ind places id protect the identity of those who write to me. All Loo often the Iii Unis and Ives i invent will bit another couple Mcnare on the nose and i hear from them. Ii stems i just can t win. Dear Ann Landers 1 though you were a Little Loo hard on the world War ii Veteran who talked about nothing but his War experiences and bored everyone to tears. Let me explain. I too served in that War. Like so Many others it was the first time i had been away from Home. There we were walking the streets of London Cairo and Manila. We steered ships in convoys flew planes in search of enemy aircraft camped in the Jungle and engaged in hand to hand combat. I am 68 years old now and retired. Nothing i have done since was half As exciting As the years spent in the military. As i look Baek hey were without a doubt the most exciting and rewarding years of my life. So Why not talk about them would people rather hear about the years i struggled with an old fashioned typewriter or ditto machine in some Smoky office or How Many sheep could be shorn on a hot afternoon the woman who was so critical should urge that Veteran to write his memoirs and ask his War buddies in town to write theirs. It would be a fascinating record for the town s museum. After we old timers arc gone these stories will live on and Tell the generations to come what son of people we were. Peter from Albany Dow Patten my ire right. I was Loo Hind on he Camions utter a and your letter offers some constructive suggestions Wick a i railed to a. Think you for your compus Lorale dear Ann Landers my aunt self styled expert on everything says i should not take the Cotton out of the bottle of aspirin. Right or wrong Boise Bettyd Tirb Bike is wrong. Cotton can absorb the Active Ingry Donti la aspirin and other tablets and should be re Page 11 letters gis As school bus monitors Appal Reader although the writer in Worms Germany stated her appreciation for soldiers Riding the school buses i think this should be addressed again from a More Crit ical Side. I am especially against single soldiers having inc responsibility of monitoring someone s child married soldiers for that matter too whether they have Chil Dren or nol. Soldiers came into inc for thai purpose to Soldier. If the writer is so concerned about terrorists than she should nol have come Over Here. Make him do it. There Are plenty or nol in a working Ili Ilus i m sure. Why nol Etc sonic badly needed time and ride the school bus. Supervision of children at least in my area is poor. You Lii pc soldiers in the housing area picking up your rash and now soldiers monitoring school buses. You re so concerned about terrorists How can inc Soldier gel his training if he s picking up your trash and taking care of your children. Yes someone at inc command level deemed in Nec Essary for soldiers to ride inc bus. I can Only speculate the military spends Many million of dollars train that the parents Don t want any More responsibilities ing our forces. Then to have them Monitor school in raising their children than inc a Cal person. 1 say it buses i appalling. Granted in May do scr any hostile action but How Are the soldiers Able to get the Best possible Day to Day raining within their units if they Are on a school bus baby sitting and that is exactly what it is a cheap Way for someone to watch your child s behaviour. If there was a paid position and there might be for bus monitors everyone would t hesitate to jump on the bandwagon however there s not so no one both ers to Volunteer. So let s pull go Joe from his unit and i to net mail next i Lime for some parents to Start making Lime for those children they chose to have and not put inc responsibility or Burden on someone else. If parents took a More Active approach in gelling involved maybe then there would t be As Many prob lems with these children. Let the Soldier get Back to the Job Law came into the to do being a Soldier. Inda a Roseboro Fri Rydberg Germany ways suggested for wives to keep Busy i would like to say to women who Don t even try to keep Busy to Stop complaining about being overseas.
