Eric, I forget, which brand of vodka is juniper infused? Beefeater or Bombay? I've always heard nothing will mess up a gin martini like vodka.
Tom, I've been working on " family history" having pretty recently stumbled on 2 cigar boxes filled with two, 2" stacks of letters my grandpa had written to my grandma from France during WWI. I'm guessing that she (or he) put them along with a couple other WWI items in the attic eves of the home grandpa built for them in 1915. How incredibly lucky that all is in relatively great shape.....for pencil on onion skin type paper 100+ years old. So far I've tracked (with the aid of some great history books) exactly where he was in some major battles....he pulled the trigger on a 30cal Browning water cooled machine gun with a 3-man team. Learned grandpa was awarded 4 medals he never received, from one letter from Camp Lee, VA where he received discharge. It stated that he "would wear.....but none of these are available at this time". Another letter signed by Black Jack detailed and presented two of the four in France.
How lucky to have come across such interesting stuff!
