We have spent the last week in Idaho. I know you are thinking, "Idaho?" Yes, I said Idaho. I was a somewhat uncertain about taking a drive, let alone a vacation to Idaho. But our son made the decision for us this year about our summer vacation. He was chosen to be on the All Star baseball team, and this meant competing in Idaho. With the price of gas, food and lodging this would eat up our vacation fund. So, Idaho quickly became our summer vacation.

They may even have invisible damage from a crash.

Editor's note: This is the first in a series about Bob Graul of Orem. Utah Valley is becoming home to many "alien" veterans (long-time residents of other states) whose children and grandchildren have settled in the valley. Graul comes to us from Pittsburgh by way of Toledo and Philadelphia. Bob found his wife while first serving in the army in Philadelphia (lots of veterans found their spouses on such assignments); and his story is typical of many Cold War stories.
