Figuring Out History Without any Clue

I was contemplating the first meeting story Mom told and after some additional digging, discovered what is obviously simple yet passed me right by. Check out the new information on School Days for some surprising simplicity. Also completed (for now) The Changing World. I am trying to keep it simple so it is easy to get back to Mom and Dad's story and I think I've gotten close. 1942 is in the works now with formatting and edits and I hope to get that going soon. My goal is to catch up so I can parrallel and keep up with postings that are exactl 75 years ago. Many sources are providing "75 years ago today" postings and I don't want to lose that synchronicity.
