Thank you, Marilyn. No, I don't know anyone in civil air patrol personally. I was asked if I was interested (by someone who was involved in it on the NH seacoast).

Another beauty, Marilyn!

When I was a kid at St. Monica's grade school in Detroit, one of my classmates and a fellow Boy Scout was in the CAP. Other than those two admirable attendance, he was a bit odd, as my sainted mom loved to say! Years later during my stint managing communications for the Animal Rescue League of Boston, I went toured my first (and to date only!) air raid shelter. It was in ARL of B's basement - a massive, dark and other-worldly room. Not someplace I'd enjoy spending more than 5 minutes in.

In recent months I think of ARL's air raid shelter when I watch the evening news about the Ukraine.

Great post, Marilyn!

Tom
