Hey Ron,
I am sorry that my posting caused hurt. In no way was I inferring that you or anyone should forgive one-time enemies if the wish to do so is non-existent - some wounds are far to deep.
When I was on LIAP - the war in Europe was over when I was home - in a converstaion with father and Uncle Frank (probably the best known test umpire) I was going on about some of the SS we came across. Both of them said something to the effect that most of the enemy fought because they had to. Especially moving was Frank's comment, he having lost part of an arm at Salonika ending a certain play-for-England cricketing career, "Gerry, you cannot hate forever."
Sincerely, Gerry
