One particularly memorable Friday our pay was late and so, being low on funds, my friend Jean and I decided to go in the opposite direction to a cheaper place.<\/p>\n<p>When we got back, we learned that our favorite restaurant that we usually went to had been bombed to the ground and our friends had been killed! Jean and I had been saved by a late paycheck!<\/p>\n<p>Another time, while I was at home I decided to go upstairs to bed early. Mum warned me, &#8220;At least wait until you hear the &#8216;All Clear&#8217; siren.&#8221; But off I went anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just as I was falling asleep, I heard someone yelling on the street below, &#8220;It&#8217;s coming for Bowmore Rd!&#8221; And I thought: <em>Hey, I live on Bowm &#8212;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>WHAM! That <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DEMvyM_ZBC4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">V-1 rocket<\/a> hit a block of apartments about 150 yards away. The blast took out my bedroom window &#8212; glass, frame and all &#8212; part of the ceiling fell on me, furniture skidded across the room. It was a mess! I managed to crawl out of my bed and get downstairs even though everything was completely blacked out.<\/p>\n<p>Mum shone a light on me. &#8220;You&#8217;re covered in blood,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s get you to a first aid station.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So off we went, through all the debris and in total darkness (except for the fires that were burning).<\/p>\n<p>After we got to the aid station, a nurse came by with a tetanus shot for me and &#8230; I fainted! What the V-1 couldn&#8217;t achieve, the needle did!<\/p>\n<p>During the war I dodged shrapnel from our own anti-aircraft guns. One time I even avoided bullets from a low-flying enemy airplane.<\/p>\n<p>I still shudder when I hear an air raid siren in World War II movies, or even low flying airplanes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11903\" style=\"width: 253px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/aunt-doris-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11903\" class=\" wp-image-11903 \" title=\"aunt doris 2\" src=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/aunt-doris-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"243\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/aunt-doris-2.png 687w, https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/aunt-doris-2-239x300.png 239w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11903\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aunt Doris&#8217; wedding photo.
