Two personal comments on Chapter 18 …
My Dad mentions only a few people by name in A Shower of
Frogs. One of them was Leonardo Coppola of Nogales [the book says Nogales,
Mexico but I’m not sure of that. Perhaps it was Arizona.] And as far as I know, Coppola was the only
WWII comrade he ever got together with after the war, although I think he corresponded with some (e.g., Stubby).
This chapter also highlights hunger: my dad wasn’t a beefy
guy in the first place, but after the war, he was positively thin. Still physically strong with a strong appetite. And he never gained weight after coming home.
