She went on to marry the famous trumpet player Harry James. Do you remember her? The photo above is what every soldier had in their locker. The photo is public domanine

She was a very famous actress who played in many movies. I had heard she was a pinup girl for the troops as they needed something. Glad you did not have to have an injection this morning.

We have house concerts here and at one of the concerts the trumpet player was Harry James Angus. He had been named for the trumpet player Harry James so I guess his destiny was decided as soon as he was named.
