Oh & I guess I should mention the bonus & the past memories & the need to share them.
Fil always tells me war tales. He was conscripted into the Hungarian Army in 1942. Yesterday, he told me how his brother died in the Ukraine in 1943 - in detail - an accident with a landmine it seems - but a story no one had heard before. He also had tales of Russian POW camps since he wasn't released until May 1948. He said he only had a full stomach 2 times in 3 years. The first involved a rotten cabbage & 3 months in a hospital. A work horse 'accidentally' killed by a tree they were cutting down was the second. He kept ending every tale with: "But I'm still here . . ."
