I was chased by a Nazi and saw him get punched

29. My old man.... (God, I miss him). I was maybe 14 years old when this happened.

One of the town's bullies was Frank.... At the time of the incident, he was maybe, 19.

Dad was 5'5" and was lucky if he weighed 130 pounds.... veteran of Army and Navy and Iwo Jima.

Frank was maybe 5' 8" and also around the same weight.

ME? I was one of Charles Atlas's 100 lb. weaklings. Hell I probably didn't even make 100 lbs.


Dad and I were walking to town and Frank challenged him, called him out about --- whatever.

Dad. Come over here if you want to settle it.

I'm saying to myself, if my father nuts? Frank will kill him.


Frank made a couple of more comments and then went back into his house.

I was proud of dad that day.
