For the Boys: Dinah Shore


Our 1000th Post!



Dinah Shore celebrates Thanksgiving with US
Servicemen at the Hollywood Canteen, 1943


Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, but, this year, I am especially thankful because I have returned just this week from working away from home for several months.


I hope all my faithful followers have just as much to feel thankful for as I do.



Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
