Traveler Way back in 1962 our family moved back from Mannheim Germany to the USA after dad finished out his 2 year contract with the government as an engineer. Mom was terrified of flying so we took a ship back to the USA. I remember Dad rounding up the whole family on deck to see the white cliffs of Dover. As a WWII vet he explained that when the troops saw Dover, they felt safe. There was even a popular song about them at the time.
