The Exquisite Corpse of Ralph Anderson
Drawn by Jennie Ottinger, Kate Rhoades and Barbara Obata
Ralph Anderson was my grandfather, who fought with the Navy in WWII. He raised me from when I was 6 and we were very close. He hated violence and the Navy and never spoke of the war. He was at Iwo Jima and possibly Normandy. It was such a huge part of his life and I always thought it must torture him and I wish I could have helped.—Jennie Ottinger
