Julius, Please Get Back In The Car!A month after Hitler invaded Poland in 1939 Benny checked in as the first of two sons born to Julius and Eleanor Wade. Eleanor was beautiful and bright while Julius was talented, handsome, and full of life. Their second son, Toodly, was born in 1943. A picture taken of Julius at age 21 showed a young man in control of his world who might have stepped from the pages of The Great Gatsby. While World War II was raging in Europe and the Pacific the Wade family experienced a serene existence on the family farm in rural South Georgia. The turmoil of war seemed far away except when word was received from family or friends in military service or when the family gathered with neighbors at Mr. Hollum Smith's house to search the azure skies for German planes. Fleeting fear surfaced on occasion at night while visiting his Grandmother in Cordele when Benny experienced all the lights in the city going dark ostensibly as a means to forestall a possible attack by German war planes. For his first six years Benny enjoyed an idyllic time of agrarian exploration and wonder as he roamed freely in the fields and woods of his Daddy's farm. His parents doted on their two sons and each day brought forth an exciting adventure for two preschoolers. Following the close of World War II and with the resumption of commercial automobile production Julius resumed his previous occupation of automobile salesman where bolstered by the post war prosperity of the economy he became super successful. In addition he was exceedingly kind to his wife and children and life was good. The years between 1946-51 are nostalgically recalled as the days of wine and roses but they were not to last. The rose petals faded seemingly overnight. The romance of moderate wine tasting was transformed into a nightly ritual of a steadily escalating consumption of any type alcoholic beverage available.
