[Magdalen] D-Day

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

And here's the question:
 
Where were you when you heard about D-Day (June 6, 1944 if you are
old enough to have been around)?
 
I was having lunch in our cottage at "the lake" (Big Wood Lake,  Burnett
County, Wisconsin).  The little plastic radio in the dining area  crackled
out the essentials over the Twin Cities CBS station there (WCCO), and
we all listened knowing that this was history in the making.
 
There was, of course, no television coverage since the Twin Cities
stations didn't start television broadcasts until about 1949.  We got  our
first home television in 1953.
