Happy Halloween

I found this great shot of me and my sisters from Halloween on Wake Island. Obviously by the quality of the costumes this holiday wasn’t nearly as important to my parents as it was to us. My sisters were provided paper hats and rolled up aprons courtesy of the commisary where my father worked. I’m not even sure what they are supposed to be, perhaps junior lunch ladies. I was afforded even less effort, an old sheet, three hacked holes, a string around the waist and a cinch around my neck. I believe this was my costume for about 4 years in a row. The great thing was that I don’t recall caring about the quality of the costume as long as the pillow case was heavy with candy when we got home. I sometimes had to drag my bounty home….
