This is another favorite picture my children have of me. It is a drawing done by a German prisoner for 2 packs of cigarettes and Hershey bars. He drew it in no time at all. I was 26 years old at the time.
I didn't have much money. I sent money home to Kitty and Jack every month. I might have made $30 a month.
My daugher Kit had good copies made of the sketch for her siblings. The picture is prominently displayed in all my children's homes. My lucky son Charlie has the original.

It is beautiful. My family is German and this touched me deeply.
I am looking for a Johnny Mann a POW who saved my Uncle Frank Biddle life by carrying him on a march from Bologne to 20A Stalag at Thorn Podorz. Can you help.
