Fuzzy puppies and furry little kitties are cute.
More personal anecdotes, such as this, are much more interesting to me than the more removed stories one usually hears, like: "it's been said that..", or "rumors have cerculated for years that..".
My father-in-law has one, about how he was going to be AWOL from his base, after visiting his new bride. It was snowing hard, and he was on foot. Assured, in his own mind, that the brig, or stockade awaited him, a car pulled up. It was none other than Admiral Forrestal himself, that is, his personal limo. The door opened, and Admiral Forrestal, himself, says something akin to, "looks like you need a lift!"
My father-in-law will never forget how kind and sincere he was, and how he was save from being AWOL that day, by one of the most famous of all military leaders.
What a great memory to have.
