I really don't "get" posting photos in usenet, when it is so much easier
to simply upload what you want to a photo website, and include a URL when
you want to reference that photo, as in:

One of the nicknames I've been burdened with during my lifetime. There's
worse. The assistant city editor at the Kansas City Star called me
"Moose" because he was a reconstituted sports editor and of course
remembered Ed "Moose" Krause, the ND bb player. But he outdid himself
with a redheaded Irish gal at the paper, whom he called "Scarlett O'Speece."
were you aware that there was a harry krause who played pro baseball
in the early days of the pro sport?
That was me...I'm older than dirt.

Yes, I was.

I was named for an uncle I never met, my mother's brother, who died
before I was born in WW II.
was that the same harry krause?
The same one for whom I was named? :}

That particular Harry, my mother's brother, had a different last name,
silly.

well, you never know - i mean like maybe your mother was one of the
maternal linage types - after all, you did live in new haven - home of
yale and ...

never mind. :)


My mother was a Bostonian. My parents ended up in New Haven because at
the time they moved there, my father was working for his uncle, who
hired him as his Connecticut district manager for the family's little
retail chain.

I was "conceived" in Atlantic City, though. The house my parents rented
for a vacation in 1943 is still there, but, sadly, there is no plaque
commemorating my conception. :}

That reminds me of a story.

While in Officer Candidate School, we were kept on post for about three
months. Finally the time came when we could get a weekend pass, but our Tac
Officer required that we put our request in writing, with reasons.

I wrote that my wife and I were planning to have a baby, and I wanted to be
there for the conception.

I got out.

No. Not that time.
