Grandpa Arnold was a Tech Sgt in the U.S. Army Air Corps in WWII, entering the Army on November 20, 1942. His bomber was shot down in Germany, after many days trying to make it to Allied lines, he was captured and he was held in a POW camp until the end of the war, and recived his discharge on November 1, 1945.
Even though he was actually my step grandfather, I never thought of him that way. He was the kindest, gentlest man, with a wonderful sense of humor.
He and my grandmother had a beautiful little house, and he was a fantastic gardener! I remember several fruit trees, and a gorgeous front lawn of dichondra, which was very fashionable in L.A. in the 1960's.
Arnold bore the burden of my grandmother's Alzheimer's disease on his own until she had to be institutionalized in the early 1980's. The end came for him far too soon as a victim of prostate cancer in 1987.
He was a lovely man, and never showed any bitterness about the hard times he had been through or the difficulties of the last years with my grandmother.
