The sergeant’s lamp Is this not the ugliest lamp you ever saw? In 1991, I was transferred from Fort Drum, N.J., to Germany. I had no furniture for my bedroom, so my sergeant said he had some things that he and his wife were going to give away that were in my price range: free. So I told him to bring it on over. The furniture consisted of a couch and a loveseat and this ugly lamp. The couch and loveseat had one-inch legs, like they have in some kind of bars where you go and lay about and have a drink. I jacked them up with blocks of wood, but I couldn’t do anything about this lamp. I don’t know why I keep it in my living room, still. I even have people come to my house and ask me, “What is that?” It might be ugly but it sure is a good conversation piece. Lula K. Grover, Fayetteville | South River EMC |
