Show pass and we'd go into London, and usually timed it so some of the buddi I kn w d go into London. We rode the train in, and they had quite an efficient railway y t m ov r there, but it was interesting to get on the train and go into London. And then the ones I went with, they were just like me. They loved musical comedies and London was just a bonanza for that. They had a lot of good musicals and we went to all of them, got involved, and I can remember some of the things were so funny. One time, all of us sitting in a line, and probably four of us in the lower lobby there watching the show, and they'd have these musicals, and the girls would come down in the audience and dance and everything. And then this one time they came down and picked up several of us and took us up on the stage, and they took some of the British soldiers, and we went up there, and then they switched coats on us. They put my coat on a Britisher and his on mine, and I can remember the sleeves hitting about here (laughs). Then our base was out in the farmland that now has gone back to farmland. We have erected a monument over there that the people who own the property allowed us to put up quite a nice monument there. So we do have a permanent monument, and we have a fund set up that maintains it, and the people do a lot of the work on it. It's quite impressive. I didn't see it. They went back two or three times, but I could never get away to go back over there. BEC: Oh, so you've never been back there? ROB: Never been back. And I've regretted it, but now I can't travel. Walking is such a chore for me now. My daughter and I have had season tickets to the Utah football for years and years, and this year I only made two of them. And the only way I could go is we went down to Twenty-first South and got on the Trax and went up that way. But even walking from the Trax station up to the stadium was too much for me. 35 |
