STRANGE GIFT. . . .Cpl. Chester Nowlen looks with humor at the polka-dot necktie he received at the battlefront for a Christmas gift from the folks back home. The Corporal's grinning companion in this scene from Ernie Pyle's "Story of G.I. Joe", Lester Cowan production, is Sgt. Fred Sprague.
In the scene of this movie, my Dad holds up the tie and says in a high-pitched voice, "Ain't she pretty." Whenever Dad spoke with this high-pitched voice he was usually pretty intoxicated.
