John's
rendition of his dog, Bux
[Jumpmaster Note: Clearly John was often lost in
thought as he whiled away the time, of which he had a copious
supply, dreaming of the things he missed most back home.
The listings of candies, pastries and favorite recipes are
indicative of the meager foods that prisoners survived on.
Plus, man's best friend, his dog, Bux, was frequently in the
forefront of his mind.] |
