I've been to a lot of places in Wyoming, but not Heart Mountain. You should do a blog on that. One of Banjo's twins, Kit, comes back from WWII with shell shock (PTSD) and I thought of using him in a story with a detainee. After you mentioned that none of the detainees remained in Wyoming, that sort of kills that story idea. bummer. Sarah J.

Wyoming also had many German POWs working. Some of the people I've interviewed had German workers. That would be a hard sell though, Sarah, to have a Wilding fall for a detainee or German POW because NOT ONE, Japanese detainee stayed in Wyoming after the war, and the Germans (though some wanted to stay) were forced to leave.

I've thought a great deal about getting one of my Wildings to fall in love with one of these detainees.<br />War teaches us so much about who we are as people and what kind of people we are. One thing for certain, war changes medicine practice and what we do differently. It's a pity Sarah J.

I know the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor bringing us into the war in 42, but I get so confused as to who was fighting who.

He came to visit when my daughter married his grandson.
