Lest We Forget

Ninety years ago today, World War I ended. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars. It's a little depressing, telling that to the kids, and trying to explain why it was called that, and why the name was wrong.

Also extremely depressing is teaching it to college kids and realizing they know nothing about it, may not have even heard of it!!!!!. Rah-rah for the great American educational system....:(

When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s, the only set of encyclopedias my family had was published in 1927. Articles on the Great War (as WWI was referred to prior to WWII) and baby layettes were two of my favorites.
