Description John J. Welker of Tucson, AZ reminisces about living in the Bracken Tenement during World War II while his architect father was working on the Colonial Williamsburg Restoration. He attended Matthew Whaley Scool, played in the Governor's Palace gardens, and despite visits from generals and Prime Minister Winston Church, World War II seemed far away from Williamsburg.
