Every day, thousands of cars pass through the Minnesota city of Savage on state Highway 13. Drivers and passengers are intent on the traffic or on making good time. Not one in a thousand glances at the south frontage road at Xenwood Avenue. Why would they? They'd see only some scrubland, neat commercial buildings, a modest park, a historical marker.

The reference to the brother training in Mississippi was to him being stationed at Camp Shelby, just south of Hattiesburg, probably with the 442nd Infantry Regiment who trained there. Camp Shelby is still an active installation of the Mississippi National Guard and houses the Mississippi Military Museum. Jim |
