[Vwdiesel] Rabbit droppings # 172 . ---- ( What exactly is an ESSAY ? )

[H . Hagar.]

I flunked English  ---and Danish and good --- in Denmark  in the fifties. (1950 ties)

Chuck Carnohan  ----please try to get Lisa to help me ?  ----

I had a home assignment in Danish ----" write about life in a Railway station "

Shit I got zilts null nothing after working me ass off on that one. We had a family member
who worked for DSB  ---Danske Stats Baner.   so he helped me ---- why NO good ?
too technical.     The teach wanted  a literary version.  ----I had one at my fingertips
--if only I had understood.

That Essay would have been a winner for sure.  ----My Volks were too poor to pay
for a Rail ticket ---BUT thanks to a School Inspector Oestrup ?   There I was a tyke with a
manila tag around the neck ---saying --get this kid to Horsens Jutland. Very powerful
memories---- like if we could ask  ---Anne Frank about her trip to Auswitch ? ----would she
remember ?  .-----bet your ass ah sweet as.

Distination of this TOO TOO train  was a lot more optimistic.   Back to the Platform.

Yes is was   9 and one half ---- and then some.    Thousands  and thousands of kids
being sent out of Copenhagen.  on the way to meet total strangers on Danish farms.

The word was passed to London UK  that the train was NOT to be strafed or bombed.
and the Terrorists agreed not to blow the tracks. And a few days ago I saw a picture of
how the big ferries were marked so as not to be bombed. BIG BIG Danish flags painted
on the sides. -------I can certify --that the Germans did not ship Ammunition or Troops
or had anyone on board THAT train. ----NEIN.

I am personally going to ask Spielberg to make a movie about those trains.

That was definitely HIGH sulfur coal ----did we care ?   -----Never ---and the engineer was blowing that 
whistle like a maniac all the way. And the kids were hanging out the windows  --waving
to farm-workers ----- yep the waved back (1942?) or 1941 ?     ----getting senile.

The Danish flag ?    ----old  ---no not all glory   ---but OLD  over a 1000 years top that
---anyone.?

Hagar.
