I WAS ONLY SIX, BUT I REMEMBER THAT YEAR. I REMEMBER JIM SMITH'S 39 "SHARK NOSE" GRAHAM AUTO AS HE MADE FREQUENT VISITS TO THE SOFFEL HOUSE. JIM WAS A CHIEF AT THE SLACKWOOD VOLUNTEER FIRE CO. IT WAS THE YEAR OF THE TRILON AND PERISPHERE AT THE NEW YORK WORLD'S FAIR. AMERICAN WAS BEGINNING TO RECOVER FROM THE GREAT DEPRESSION. IT WAS THE YEAR OF GILLETTE BLUE BLADES, '39 NASH AND LASALLE AUTOMOBILES, AND DOUGLAS DC3
AIRLINERS.
