| Cover of candy box, hanging in cottage on Lake Quassapaug |
On February 26, after two years and seven months of service, Franklin arrived back in San Francisco. Because it was his mother's birthday, he bought a wooden box of candy before flying home to Connecticut. On the back of the cover, she would write, "This picture is the cover of a box of candy that Franklin Jr. gave me for my birthday the day after he returned from overseas on Feb. 26, 1946."

Along with the box of candy, he apparently also brought home a Japanese machete.
What a great birthday present for Gammy to have Uncle Franklin home at last! The candy box isn't too bad, either. They sure knew how to make things with style in the "olden days".

And it must have been a really nice way for her to always remember that day.
