Toledo shopping list from the 37th Infantry reunion tale
A veteran recounts being sent to Toledo for the first 37th Infantry reunion with a long shopping list from his wife. He jokes about finding prewar items like a sunroom light fixture, a colander, garden hose, knitting needles, a large trash can, and a mysterious silver polish while recalling wartime loyalties and the burden of errands. The tone blends humor with nostalgia for Bougainville and comrades.
