<p>[QUOTE=&quot;K Porter, post: 6970327, member: 115815&quot;]Thank you for your input. Your information is indeed relevant.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a &quot;small world&quot; scenerio...my wife is 1/2 Norwegian and her Dad sailed with The Norwegian Merchant Marines during WWll. He crossed the Atlantic many times while shipping supplies to Russia and England.&nbsp; He never spoke how he paid for goods in Allied Countries but he did relate that his vessel was struck by a U-Boat launched torpedo in The Gulf of Mexico. The ship listed 21 degrees and was towed to repair facilities in Louisiana he related. He also recalled drinking in a British Pub and hearing bombs in the distance. He said the Brits had nerves of steel and were not very rattled at the sounds of the German bombs in the distance. He typically didn&#039;t share his war experiences with his family, but he did with me after I married his daughter in 1989.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
