We the three of us one time went down to Piraeus in Herdworder's car. My only visit to a prostitute in Greece. Most of the guys went to a bar at the end of the line, where the deuce and a half ferried every night, out past the American air base on the shore of the Aegean Sea. I was out there once and no-one propositioned me. But there was a problem. Some fell in love with a prostitute and marriage was frowned on by the military. My old room mate, a ticker type guy before bomb disposal, fell in love with a prostitute. The brass was not too happy about that and did everything they could to discourage it. They might be communist spies.
And another time I was with the gang and they picked up a prostitute that they knew and we went to a vacant lot someplace around Athens and they took turns. But not I. She said I needed a younger woman and she knew of just such a person if I should come visit her. But I never did. So Herdworder I and Layander went to Piraeaus to visit a prostitute. It was Herdworder's thing. I didn't know. Layander the historian refused to go in and stayed in the car. It seemed to be a family thing with the patriarch taking our money and directing us into the room when turn it came I following Herdworder.
No girl friends in Greece. Even in the USO United Service Organizations I visited a few times in Athens, I met no one. But I did meet a lottery ticket sales guy in the street who had a little dog with tickets pinned all over it. He said he was once a rich New York restaurant owner.
