Past Memories.

 I had a wonderful day: Marie picked up groceries and I continue to work in the art room. Authors from my past are popping up. Robin Lee Hatcher who writes Christian novels from Boise, Idaho. Tonight while watching a Hallmark movie I was surprise to see it was from one of Debbie Macomber"s Christmas stories. She lives at Port Orchard, Washington where I wrote a column for their paper. I was invited to her slumber party to celebrate her latest book (1987). Maybe, God is sending memories from my past since I am not moving forward to enjoy.

Feeling loved and blessed one day at a time. God always provides. Goodnight and prayers going up for everyone.

Heroes Beneath the Waves Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century

 I am a lifetime member of .the World War II Veterans Wives and USSVI Wives and I am the author of this book. A book for preteens and up. Heroes Beneath the Waves is about teenage boys who left farms, small towns, and inner cities to defend the United States and democracy worldwide. Signing up for United States Navy submarine duty was an adventure of a lifetime during the early 1940s. Dreams of torpedoing Japanese and German ships and subs consumed their thoughts. Those who returned home as young men were older and wiser. Heroes Beneath the Waves was written to honor these men—gallant heroes—who served and are serving today on submarines. The unbelievable stories of the heroic men who sailed under the sea. By Mary Nida Smith wife of CPO Melvin T. Smith.
