Jared Says for June,
July, and August
Jared Says will updated monthy again when Jared gets back from
his summer in-person buying period.
My buying has sure picked up
this month, but most of the items were non-paper. Usually, I stick
to small items, but recently a pinball machine was too tempting
to pass up.
During my hunting for items
there was an interesting coincidence that occurred. At one yard
sale I asked if there were any military items. As it turned out,
that the person selling had been part of the Tuskegee
Airmen. They were
were famous in W.W.II (they were a colored unit the, then, segregated
military). It was only in the later part of the war that they were
allowed to finally fly in combat. The Airmen had the distinction
of never losing a bomber which they had escorted.
This person did not get to fly because the war ended before he
finished his training. However, he was a part of that famous unit.
Now for the amazing coincidence: I went down the street to another
sale and there I mentioned who I had just met. This person got all
excited because his father had taught flying to
the Tuskegee Airmen. He wondered if his neighbor had known his father.
I think he went to see him, but I do not know the outcome.
I am starting to collect away items for my annual yard sale in
South Kingston, R.I., Friday 2 July. If you are in the area please
stop by!
Here are some links to learn
more about the Tuskegee
Airmen. there are
lots of pages out there, and plenty of commerical ones on this facinating
topic.
