. . LAST DAY IN ENDYMION, AT THE MARION HOME, AUTUMN 1943 “HE SAID HIS NAME WAS Lieutenant Watkins,” said Eddie, who had taken the call. “He sounded as if he wanted to make sure I heard the ‘Lieutenant.’ He called Erskine’s for you and Erskine told him you were down here.” Johnny laughed. “And I didn’t tell Erskine I was coming here. That’s Jim Watkins,” he added after a moment. “Though I didn’t know he was home. He enlisted in the Regular Army the same time I did.” “Who is he?” asked Sandy. “His father’s a farmer down south of town. He and I both enlisted for Hawaii. After the war started, he went through flight training and got a commission. We were pretty good friends in Hawaii.” “I told him you weren’t here,” Eddie said, “but he said you’d be here soon. He’s going to stop by to see you.” “Yeh? I’d like to see him, too,” Johnny said. When Jim Watkins came, Johnny answered the front door. The man who stood in the doorway was tall and heavy.
