An interesting postcard from this week's postcard auction. (North Carolina - Fort Bragg, motorized balloon rigging crew.)

Leonard Freeman (the producer of the original Hawaii Five O) liked it so much, that name was used for Steve McGarrett's arch nemesis - China's super spy, the evil Wo Fat.

Sadly the restaurant is gone now but as a huge Hawaii Five O fan, I was lucky to eat there once.

...the restaurant provides friendly staff, delicious tropical drinks and solid pupu.

Yes, I am unbearably juvenile.

I found out through the site Find A Grave that, somewhere along the line, the Sproatts left Indiana and moved to Ohio.  Carl was a PFC in the Marines during WWII and he received a Purple Heart.  He passed away on August 10, 2008 at the age of 81.  Doris outlived her husband of 55 years and she passed away on January 19, 2012.

Learned a little more.  Carl served in the 6th Marine Division and was horribly wounded during the invasion of Okinawa - no hang nail
Purple Heart for him.

Doris was a Ball State graduate who taught Spanish and Business and had a kind smile:

Near as I can tell all is well with her - she has her Mom's kind smile in her photo on LinkedIn.  Wasn't 100% sure as the path took an unexpected turn but the smile is a clincher I think.  It would seem she has had a career where she has actually helped people.
