Great Grandpa stories

Great Grandpa came over today. When I got off work, we were talking about him watching UT football tonight and how each kid went to a different TX college. He told me that he was drafted into the service (Air Corp branch) for 3 years. They trained a class every six weeks and some got done in 4 weeks so they could play lots of sports in between. He could get gasoline and cigarettes but he used them to barter with. They gave the gasoline to farmers and in return got steaks. When he was drafted, he decided to get married right away and they lived in Kansas for 3 years. He worked part-time for an auto salesman who ran the town. Great Grandma Johnny worked for the creamery - ice cream parlor. They knew everyone in the small town.
