Seth, I’m old enough to remember soldiers from Camp Wellfleet being standing in front of the Orleans movie theater, or maybe the drug store next door. This was on Saturdays when we were heading to the 12 cent matinee. They usually were smoking but the impression they made was their spit polished black boots. We were very careful to avoid scuffing that shine or there would have been hell to pay. Or so we thought! Late 1950s?
LOVED this story! Believe that all of us have vividly different perceptions of the Cape! Especially those of us who have Cape Roots and have served in the Military!
