My father joined the Marines in 1938. He was a carpenter and rigger and was
building Scofield Barracks in Pearl in Dec 1941. He was in several
invasions of Pacific islands and was badly wounded on Guam in 1944 while
clearing out a cave. They sent him home and he was here to do what several
thousand other returning servicemen were doing when the war ended, starting
a family. I was born in March of 1946.
