I asked a Turk soldier what they did when they caught one decorating a statue of Ataturk and he told me they usually just killed them. We shook hands and parted. May 1, 1985. As an aside, when I was a kid in the late forties, early fifties we always had a Maypole at school and danced around it and a mini-carnival, sort of an end to the cold winter holiday. Haven't seen that in a very long time. I must be getting really old. |
