    What I never Knew About Jimmy Stewart

    For all the fans of “It’s A Wonderful Life” and Jimmy Stewart . . . Just months after winning his 1941 Academy Award for best…

    • Tania, I didn’t know of any PTSD but he seemed to have been underweight before he went into the military. I just learned more that I didn’t know and I am pasting it here from Wikipedia. Jimmy Stewart was a lot more than a movie star.
      “On July 23, 1959, Stewart was promoted to brigadier general, becoming the highest-ranking actor in military history.[134] Stewart flew as a non-duty observer in a B-52 on an Arc Light bombing mission during the Vietnam War in February 1966.[135] He served for 27 years, officially retiring from the Air Force on May 31, 1968, when he reached the mandatory retirement age of 60.[136] Upon his retirement, he was awarded the United States Air Force Distinguished Service Medal.”[

    He taught me about livestock and how to handle them with care.

    I don’t know much about trucks, tires, and tools.
    But he taught… Read more

  • I was a very happy man. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me—it was her beautiful younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was… Read more
