They really believed they could hear the guns. Isn&#039;t imagination wonderful sometimes. He was from Rhode Island. I always wondered where he and his friends found a hill, never mind a high hill in RI. His oldest brother was killed in that war. </p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
