C. L. Hoskins: ARMY DAYS

C.L. didn't have the resources to continue his movie/TV adventure. The long and the short of that story is that C.L. joined the Army so he could get out of debt and have an income, Four Star Playhouse sent him an invitation for a contract in a series. Too late. I wish I had kept the letter for his history. As I recall, it was NBC's Gunsmoke an American radio and television Western drama series.


C. L. Hoskins

This was a very difficult time in the life of my brother. He was thinking of his daughter and didn't have enough money to help with her. He was told that the Army provided a way to easy the challenge of "no money."

When he left for the Army, my heart broke as I told him, "Later. Do what you have to do." Love my brother. Again, the tears come so easily. Tears of joy for being a part of life. All of us had fun in the ocean as we played and threw sand at each other. Sands of time. All of us young kids learning about the windows and doors of life and how the shadows prepare us for more experiences. Life is precious with every passing day.
