And now…the continuing saga of our Heroine…Susie Sidebottom 1943 World News
Susie looked over the recap of events and gave out an exhausted sigh. So many things had happened in the past 3 years. The war was still raging in Europe, Africa and the Pacific. Her brother, Antonio was now a Navy XO on a submarine called Tang with Commander Richard O’Kane. She would find out later that their sub made the first run into Tokyo Bay by positioning itself under the belly of a cargo ship, slipping thru the undersea netting and avoiding the mines that littered the bay. Once in, they had to settle and wait, deep in the dark, with no sounds, not even whispers in the dim red light. Antonio’s best friend, Sgt. Ken Thompson, was in the Army Air Corps and was a gunnery Sergeant flying with Jimmy Doolittle’s squad in the Pacific. The man of her dreams, Marcello Pepperoni had written her from some where in France but again, his letter looked like some one had used it for a target at a turkey shoot. Because Marcello spoke several languages, he was working with the OSS but couldn’t say anything more. She only prayed he would return to her arms soon. She thought about how they had literally run into each other at the store where they used to play card games. Susie helped her parents with their winery on the ridge. Her friend, Patricia Lane, helped her family with the Texas longhorn cattle but with both enterprises, it was always a gamble. Once in a while they would go visit their Grandparents at the Native Home Senior Center and admire the Rose Gardens. When Marcello returned, she dreamed of when they would be married and maybe buy the old Hanford house. But for now, it was time to make some home made pies.
