Brittain Insurance Agency ?

[emarshbuck]

Does anyone remember the name of the insurance agency across from Precure's IGA in Brittain? It was something like Charles Sheffel (sp?). I think it was between the DX gas station and the elementary school. Actually, maybe across from the old bicycle repair shop at teh corner of Brittain Road & Classen.

Anyway, the owner of the Insurance Agency, Charlie, is now 89 years old, and is the oldest living US Army Captain from WW II. I met him on an airplane trip recently. There is a book about him and his experiences in Anzio w/George Patton up on Amazon, but I can't find it because I don't remember his last name exactly.

Can anyone help me with this?

I grew up on NW 100, and had several paper routes in the Brittain area from 1960 thru 1964.

Charles Scheffel, and name of the book is Crack! and Thump.

I was told that it was a good read a couple of years ago, but had forgotten about it...Now I want to read it too. Thanks for the reminder.
