Mom was a Navy Wave during WWII, doing her bit and living her loyalty to our country. Her job was “Radioman,” and her uniform was slacks, a blouse, and a sweater. Morse Code was their means of communication. Mom thought the rhythms of her trumpet in her high school marching band were related to those of Morse Code.
