    The Carol Ferguson "Back When" article in today's GHB went back in time to
1944.  Here is the title, subtitles, and closing paragraphs:

Sixty Years Ago This Week
Roosevelt Begins 12th Year as President

    --"On Land -- At Sea -- In Air with Hunt Countian --SOMEWHERE IN ITALY
(Special):  If the name and the fame of Greenville, Texas, aren't known up and
down the Italian front, it's not fault of Joe Garland Roach, Greenville school
executive now serving as American Red Cross Field man with an Army unit there.
Roach was assigned a jeep.  It had, of course, 'American Red Cross,' painted on
the front.  But on either side is painted in large red letters, 'Greenville,
Texas.'  The other day as Roach stopped at a quartermaster dump, five soldiers
came running up to him.  All were from Greenville, and the school man knew one
of them.  The little car bears other reminders of its driver's home.  On the
front, two on either side, are four names: 'Mary,' 'Joe,' 'Betty,' 'Parjo.'
Those, the Texan explains, are respectively his wife, himself, his son's girl,
and his son, the last a nickname."
