Transcribed by: Joan Raymer, March 6, 2011 Interviewer: “Kate, can you begin with a little bit of personal background to start with? Where and when were you born?” I was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana on September 26, 1927 Interviewer: “What did your family do for a living at that time?” My dad was a maintenance man for the Fort Wayne public schools and my mother was a bookkeeper, so they both worked. Interviewer: “Were they able to keep those jobs through the thirties?” Yes Interviewer: “So you had enough to eat, at least, growing up. How many kids were in the family?” There were three of us, I had two brothers, two older brothers, so I was the youngest and the only girl, which is an advantage you know. Interviewer: “How did you windup getting into sports?” 14:34 My dad was always interested in sports and I started with him and we would go out and play catch and I got interested in playing softball. I started playing softball with a sand lot team in Fort Wayne and I started that when I was about twelve years old. I played all through my teens with that team until the All American Girls came to town and they had tryouts, so I tried out with them and I was able to make the team and I started playing 1 �with them in 1946. I had to wait until I graduated from high school and I started playing with them. 15:20 Interviewer: “So did you first learn about the league in 1946 or had you heard about it before that?” I heard about it before that because Fort Wayne had a team and they started playing, I think it was, about 1943, so I had known about it before 1946. Interviewer: “Was that the team that moved from Minnesota?” They came from Milwaukee. Interviewer: “Milwaukee, I knew one of them did and Grand Rapids came form someplace, so 1944 or 45 in there someplace, not 43 right away.” Yes Interviewer: “You’re aware of the league, you were playing organized ball, was that a popular thing for girls to do?” Yes it was, there were a lot of softball teams in Fort Wayne, a lot of leagues and most girls of teenage were playing on some kind of organized softball team. Interviewer: “What position did you normally play?” 16:17 Fist of all first baseman and then we ran out of catchers, so I started catching and that became my position. Interviewer: “All right, now when you were catching in softball, did you do the things that baseball catchers will do? Do you try to call pitches or any of that kind of thing?” We didn’t do that too much in softball because our softball pitchers back in those days only had one pitch—to get it over the plate, so I didn’t have to call too many pitches. I 2 �just had to catch whatever they threw at me, so I didn’t have to do that too much in that day and age. Interviewer: “Now, tell me about the tryout then for the league. How did that take place?” I don’t remember too much about that really. They had a day when they had people come to a certain place in Fort Wayne and I don’t even remember what that place was. It was someplace in Fort Wayne, so I didn’t have to leave the city and we had, of course, throwing and hitting and that sort of thing and played practice games and they evaluated us form all of that and they decided whether or not they thought we would be successful in the league. 17:35 Interviewer: “Do you have a sense of how many girls were trying out then?” I don’t recall—I don’t recall at all. Interviewer: “Do you figure a few dozen or a few hundred or two?” Oh no, not a hundred, maybe a couple dozen at the most. Interviewer: “Were you trying out simply to get into the league or were you actually trying out for the Fort Wayne team?” Just to get into the league at that time, but I was then taken by the Fort Wayne team and I played with them and I played with Fort Wayne, which is my hometown. 18:28 Interviewer: “Was that the first place you played for?” Yes Interviewer: “Who were some of the veteran players on that team when you joined it?” 3 �Let’s see, Dotty Collins was on that team and Dolly Schroeder, I can’t remember too many of the others at that time, those are the two that come to my mind immediately. I guess they were the most prominent two. Interviewer: “When you joined, you mentioned that you had to wait until your high school graduation before you started to play, so you missed whatever kind of spring training they had that year?” No, I did go to spring training. I went to Cuba and I don’t remember what year that was that I went to spring training in Cuba. Interviewer: “Cuba was 1948 maybe?” 19:16 I went to Pascagoula one year and then I went to Cuba another year for spring training, but the dates escape me, I can’t relate the dates to the places. Interviewer: “Those we can track down, but do you remember what year was your first season then? When did you start playing?” 1946 Interviewer: “I think Cuba was a couple years later than that, 1948 or something like that. So, you joined the Fort Wayne team, do you remember your first game?” No, I really don’t—I remember one of the games—I caught Dolly Collins and she had a tremendous curve ball and I would start in one position and catch the ball and by the time I caught it I was two feet to the right of where I started in order to catch it, so she had a really tremendous curve ball. 20:16 Interviewer: “Now, did some of those go as passed balls or wild pitches? Would you lose some of her pitches? As a catcher would you miss some of them?” 4 �Oh no, not too many, not too many, I could usually catch up with it somewhere along the line. Interviewer: “There were a number of players in the league who were sort of notorious as base stealers. You get someone like Sophie Kurys stealing two hundred in one season and that kind of thing.” There was only one like that, and it was Sophie Kurys. Interviewer: “Right, now did you get much of a chance to throw batters out?” Oh yeah, a lot Interviewer: “Were you good at it?” Yeah, I was fairly good at it, and I had a pretty good arm and threw to second base on the line pretty well. If the pitcher game me time, I could usually get it there on time. A lot of times the pitcher didn’t give you time to do that. 21:10 Interviewer: “Were you a good hitter?” No-- in softball I was a really good hitter. I usually got two or three hits every game, but in baseball the ball was smaller and the pitchers had more control of the different pitcher, so I was not a very good hitter in baseball, which was too bad, but that’s the way it goes. Interviewer: “Were you a good defensive catcher though?” Yes, I was that Interviewer: “Even in this day, you can have a low batting average if you can do the rest of the job. How long did you stay in the league?” I was in the league about eight years, until 1953. 5 �Interviewer: “That’s a pretty good stretch there. Now at the time you joined the league, how much of the rules and regulations was on dress and behavior? How much of that was still in place?” It was the dress code, having to dress in dresses each time you left the bus, that was still in place, but the charm school was gone, I never had to do that, but we did have to follow the dress code pretty closely and we had to know fraternization rules, we were not to fraternize with the other teams and that sort of thing, so those types of things were still in effect. 22:34 Interviewer: “Did they regulate things like who people could go out on dates with or that sort of thing?” Yeah, the chaperones watched that pretty closely. Interviewer: “What did you think of the chaperones?” They were very good. The chaperones we had on the teams I played for were all very good, and I liked them a lot. We couldn’t have done without them. Interviewer: “What about the managers?” The managers were also ok. I played for Jimmy Foxx and he was about like he was in the movie, but was certainly a gentleman, but he wasn’t always as sober as he could have been, but he was always a gentleman. I played for Max Carey, I played for Bill Wambsganns, and they were both major league ball players and they were both very good, so I played for some good manager. I played for Leo Schrall in Peoria and he was a teacher at one of the colleges in Peoria, I don’t remember what the name of it was. 23:46 He was a very good manager, he was interested in teaching us actually—how to 6 �do things. The others assumed that we knew everything, so he was more a teacher than he was a coach, so it was very good to play for him. Interviewer: “What kind of living accommodations did you have?” When I played for Fort Wayne I lived at home, but when we were on the road, of course, we lived in hotels and when I played with, like Muskegon, the chaperones found us private homes to live in and the living accommodations were good. We were always very comfortable and the chaperones made sure of that, so we were very well supervised. They took good care of us because we were just youngsters and they watched us pretty carefully. 24:34 Interviewer: “How much did they pay you to start?” I would just guess, off the top of my head, sixty five dollars a week or something like that, which was a lot of money back in those days and especially if you’re living at home because you didn’t have any expenses. On the road, all your expenses were paid, so I didn’t have to spend a lot of my money, but when I lived in Muskegon I had to live in somebody else’s home and then I had some expenses. I always had plenty of money. Interviewer: “Did you save some of that money?” Oh yeah. And I went to school later and I went to school, and I went to school, and I went to school. Interviewer: “We’ll get into that a little later on here. Now, tell me about some of the spring training experiences. You said you made the trip down to Cuba, what do you remember about that?” 25:29 I remember that—that was at the time when Castro was up in the hills and people down in Havana were shaking that he was going to come down there and capture the city, 7 �which I guess he did eventually. The food was not edible as far as I was concerned and I lived on the pineapples they sold on the street corner. We were very popular with—the games were very popular and well attended and people really appreciated the way we played the game, so it was interesting, very interesting. Interviewer: “Did you also recruit players in Cuba?” Yes, we still have a few of them; well we still have one of them that’s here. Have you interviewed her? She’s-Interviewer: “Lefty Alvarez” Ah huh, Isabel ah huh, she’s interesting. I played with another one; her name was Marrero, Mirtha Marrero, I think, who was a pitcher, so when they announced, before the game they announced the battery, so when they announced the battery she was pitching, and they and they announced Marrero and Vonderau. 26:53 Interviewer: “Where else did you go for spring training?” Ah, Pascagoula, which was not too bad, but it was a little buggy and we lived in barracks and the weather was very hot, I remember that. We had trouble staying out in the sun all day long and we would get so sunburned we could hardly stand it, but otherwise it was ok. Interviewer: “In addition to sort of doing your training down there, did you do any barnstorming or traveling around playing?” Yes we did, we played there in Pascagoula and that area, and then we played games all over, way back up to our hometowns. If it was in Muskegon, we would play games all the way back up until we got there. 27:54 We did a lot of playing in states along the way. 8 �Interviewer: “How long did you play in Fort Wayne?” How long? I played with Fort Wayne several times. I would play with fort Wayne and get traded away and get traded back, so I’d say maybe four or five years with Fort Wayne. Interviewer: “What was the first team you got traded to?” Muskegon, Muskegon Lassies Interviewer: “Did they trade you before the season or in the middle of the season?” That, I don’t remember, I would have to look at my baseball card. Interviewer: “Were you sorry to leave home or were you looking forward to the adventure when you left?” 28:46 I was looking forward to being on another team. It was always an adventure. I remember getting traded to Chicago, the Chicago Colleens, and when I got to Chicago I had about five dollars in my pocket and I had to borrow money from one of my friends to get where I was going and where I was supposed to be. I was a little bit short. Interviewer: “Was it different playing in these different towns? Was Muskegon different from Fort Wayne or Chicago, either of them?” The game was pretty much the same. It was always different playing for a different manager, but the game itself was not that much different. Interviewer: “What about the surroundings and the people who came to the games?” That might have been a bit more different. Playing in my hometown, I think the people were a little more hostile than they were in other towns where I wasn’t that well known. It’s always hard to play in your own hometown. 29:48 9 �Interviewer: “They were hostile when you were playing for Fort Wayne?” Yes, because I was from Fort Wayne and if I made a mistake, that was pretty bad news because I was a Fort Wayne native. Interviewer: “Did you have a lot of steady fans there?” Oh yes, a lot of fans that came every day for every game we played and every night, so they were the same fans day and night after night, and they heckled you night after night. They paid to do that, so that was their privilege. Interviewer: “What kind of people went to the games?” Just ordinary, average, run of the mill people. Interviewer: “Were they all ages?” Yes, all ages Interviewer: “Men and women?” Yeah, yeah, and I think they were probably more—probably a little bit older because the younger people were gone to war, so these were all people who were a little bit older than they would have been had they been able to go to was, so they were a little bit older. 31:04 Interviewer: “In the late forties we didn’t have a was going on. You got Korea, but that started up in 1950 though, so you got a certain amount of that there too. Are there particular moments in your playing career that stand out? When you think back to playing ball, what do you think of?” Well, I think of the game itself I guess because I loved playing so much. You can stand any kind of conditions if you like to play, so—people talk about playing in those skirts, 10 �well, we didn’t care what we played in as long as we got to play so, it was the game itself and getting to play the game and the competition. It was just fun. 31:51 Interviewer: “What separated that game from the softball you had been playing before?” Well, the competition was better and a little more intense, and the game itself was a little more difficult. The hitting was more difficult and the bases were longer and the pitching was overhand, so the game was a little bit harder to play, but it was still just as much fun. Interviewer: “Where else did you play? You mentioned you were in Muskegon, you were in Chicago, and you were in Fort Wayne and Peoria. What was the team there?” The Peoria Red Wings Interviewer: “Did they last only a short time?” Oh no, they were in the—Chicago is the one that lasted only a short time, but Peoria was –they were in the league quite a while. 32:47 They weren’t one of the original teams, but they were one of the teams that lasted about eight years or something like that. Interviewer: “Now when you were playing for these different teams, did any of them make it to a championship series?” Yeah, we did with Muskegon we went to the championship. Interviewer: “Now, did you win?” Ah, I think we won once with Fort Wayne and we got to the championship series in Muskegon, but we lost the last game, but we did win once in Fort Wayne and I remember getting a watch or something for having won the championship. Interviewer: “Were you the regular catcher for the teams that you played for?” 11 �Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depended on who happened to be on the team at the same time I was, so I wasn’t always the first sting catcher, sometimes I was second. Interviewer: “As second string catcher, did you still get to play fairly regularly?” Oh yes 33:49 Interviewer: “You played so many games you probably had to.” Yes Interviewer: “How did the game change over the course of time that you were playing? Did they do different things with the rules and the size of the ball and things like that? How was it different at the time you ended your career than at the time you started?” I can’t remember that the game itself was all that much different. It was just the ball, the size of the ball that made it a little bit faster, but the other rules of the game didn’t really change all that much that I can recall. I just recall the smaller ball, but it was still the same game, just a little bit faster game. Interviewer: “Was it harder to catch in baseball than it was in softball? Was your job harder?” Yes, because the pitchers threw more different types of pitches and I had to call the types of pitches that they were throwing, so it became more complicated. 34:50 Interviewer: “Did you learn the batters and that kind of thing the same way they do these days, so you could now who hit what?” Yeah, yeah we did that Interviewer: “Did you have pitchers that didn’t like having you tell them what to pitch?” 12 �No, not really, they didn’t check me off all that much, but there were some who probably did. I had a couple pitchers that were maybe a little bit hostile, so if they threw me a low pitch I threw the ball back to them and if they threw me a high pitch I threw the ball back to her high, so I had to get even with her somehow. Interviewer: “Now, as these games were going on, was there—did the managers make much of an effort to signal to you, while you were catching, to tell you what pitches to call?” No, they didn’t do that too much, not unless we got into serious trouble. They didn’t do that a whole lot. 35:53 Interviewer: ―Did they do the thing where they come out to the mound and talk to the pitchers?” Oh yes, they did that occasionally, just like they do in the major leagues. Interviewer: “Why did you wind up leaving the league, why did you stop playing?” Well, I was getting injured quite often, more often than I thought I should. I figured that I had a few more years of my life to go and maybe I better preserve my body a little bit, so I could live the rest of my life, and the league was about ready to fold too at that time, so I just decided to stop. 36:34 Interviewer: “What was your last season?” 1953 Interviewer: “How could you tell the league was in trouble by then?” Well, the attendance had dripped an awful lot and they had started the traveling leagues, so the handwriting was on the wall and there wasn’t too much doubt that it was going to fold pretty soon. 13 �Interviewer: “Once you made the decision then to quit, what did you do next?” Then I went back to college and studied to be a teacher and I taught for about thirty years after that. Interviewer: “What level did you teach at?” All levels, I started in elementary and I taught at junior high, high school, and then to the university.‖ Interviewer: “What University did you teach at?” The University of Wisconsin at Whitewater. Interviewer: ―What were you teaching?” Physical education, along the way and when I got to the University I was teaching—we were training physical educators to go teach. That was basically what I was doing. 37:46 Interviewer: “As you were doing these things, teaching at these different levels, did people know that you had played professional baseball?” No, not really, no, not really, not until I got to the college level I guess, it never came up. Interviewer: “When did you start teaching at the college level?” About 1966 or something like that. Interviewer: “But there were people who remembered something about the league or knew that it existed?” No, because I was teaching in the Midwest. Well, I taught in Wisconsin, but people were not really aware of the league by that time. Of course it had died about ten years before that and they had forgotten all about it I guess. It didn’t really come up all that much until I guess, it was about the time of retirement was when it came up and they started talking about it, or when the movie came out, maybe that’s when it was. 38:46 14 We �didn’t really discuss it that much before that. It just never occurred to me, I guess, to discuss it and I never had the opportunity to discuss it. Interviewer: “Did you get actively involved in building up girls or women’s sports programs?” Yes Interviewer: “What kinds of things did you do at these different places you taught?” I was coach for softball in college, we didn’t do too much at the other levels, at the high school level, they didn’t really have competitive programs at that time, but at the college level I coached softball, I coached volleyball I guess that’s all. Those are about the only two things I coached. Interviewer: “And were you still doing that when the Title IX legislation went through and they began to expand things?” Yeah 39:45 Interviewer: “What was your response to that when it happened? What did you think of that?” Well, it was fine, I—one thing I didn’t like about it was—when I coached, all the people who came out for the sport, I taught them as much as I could as far as softball was concerned. I let them play, so they could learn how to play, but when the title nine started it was a different situation. You had to let the most talented people play, so you had to be focused more on winning and that wasn’t my type of thing. I wanted to be a teacher and teach them how to play and make sure they knew about the softball game rather than just work with the skilled people. 40:37 15 �Interviewer: “Now, while you were actually playing in the league yourself, did you think about how unusual this was that you were doing this, or of you yourself as being a pioneer by going out and doing something new?” No, I never thought about it, no, not until years and years later. When somebody told us we were pioneers, then we thought about it, but it never occurred to us. Interviewer: “You were doing it because they were paying you to play ball.” Yes, and we loved playing ball. I would have played without the pay, so it didn’t make any difference. They could have paid me half the salary and I still would have played, so we just loved playing and it was an opportunity to play, so played and that’s all. Interviewer: “When you look back at your career, what effect do you think it had on you? How did it affect you, just being able to go and play for those years and have that experience?” 41:36 I don’t really know how to answer that. I was a little bit more shy, I think, when I first started and it got you out among people and made it easier to meet people and talk to people and just that sort of thing. Otherwise, I don’t know what else to say about that. Interviewer: “do you think it gave you a certain level of confidence and the ability to go out and do things?” Yeah Interviewer: “When you were, say eighteen or nineteen, did you think you would end up teaching college somewhere?” No, it never occurred to me then, nope. 16 �Interviewer: “If you were asked to, and you probably have been asked to, to review the movie “A League of their Own”, what would you say about it? 42:40 What worked well? What did they get wrong?” Well, I think it was about eighty-five percent true, what they’ve done, and I was very pleased with it. They did a good job, but some of the scenes that they put in, I know, were for entertainment only, and just to attract people, so they would like the film a little bit better. It distracted from what we actually did, but I can understand why they did it. I still enjoyed the movie a lot and I thought they did a nice job. Interviewer: “What aspect of your experiences as a ball player do you think they did a good job with?” The games themselves, the coaching of the games and the relationships, like the two sisters, and the competitive part of it, that was good and I thought the whole thing, as a whole, was good except for—like doing the splits and ending up with a hotdog and the manager being in the locker room, that never would have happened, and those types of things. 43:58 Everything else, I thought was good. Some of the things they did, as far as the chaperones, were a concern—we use to play trick on the chaperones, but I think they went a little bit farther than they needed to go in the movie, but we did those types of things though—it was not too far off. Interviewer: “If you just think back again to the time you spent in the league, are there other particular memories or stories that come back to you that you haven’t mentioned yet?” 17 �No, I can’t really think of anything. You know, this is so long ago, fifty years ago, and a lot of things escape me and I can’t remember things as vividly as I once did, so I can’t think of anything else that would stand out at the moment. 45:03 Interviewer: “Well, you managed to tell us quite a bit, so thank you very much for coming in and talking to us.” Thank you. 18 �19 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

History Department Description An account of the resource The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was started by Philip Wrigley, owner of the Chicago Cubs, during World War II to fill the void left by the departure of most of the best male baseball players for military service. Players were recruited from across the country, and the league was successful enough to be able to continue on after the war. The league had teams based in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and operated between 1943 and 1954. The 1954 season ended with only the Fort Wayne, South Bend, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, and Rockford teams remaining. The League gave over 600 women athletes the opportunity to play professional baseball. Many of the players went on to successful careers, and the league itself provided an important precedent for later efforts to promote women's sports.

He served as a corporal in the US Marine Corps. His mom served as wife and mother. His brother, Michael, served in the Army in the late 90’s. He was attending Calvin College, and in his 3rd year he decided to drop out and join the Marine Corps. He had always thought about doing it, and he thought that if he was going to, he needed to do it now, because back then, when he joined, the Marines wouldn’t take anyone over 27 years old. His dad would ask him why he would join the Marine Corps, and he didn’t know if it was to prove something, but he thought someone has to do it. So he signed up for the Marine Corps Infantry. Training (2:10)            He would spend three months at the Marine Corps recruit depot in San Diego. Then he spent another three months at Camp Pendleton, California for Infantry training. From there, he would go through many other training excursions, from learning how to jump out of a helicopter to learning how to run in snow shoes. He remembers boot camp the most. When you first realize what you had done, it is almost like being on a different planet. He had spare time on Sunday mornings, which they spend washing their clothes, prepping their gear, and other things. There was little or no free time for him in boot camp. Infantry training school was a lot like boot camp. You do a lot of running, you learn how to shoot different types of guns and it was nothing too different from what he experienced during his time at boot camp. ITS was like boot camp lite. He did get weekends off and he was allowed to make phone calls back home. He had to take the ASVAB when he entered the service. He thinks that there may be a required High School Diploma or GED, but he doesn’t know for sure. If you wanted to go into Army Intelligence or something like that, you may need an advance degree or special training. The physical took place at the MEPS Center in Detroit. It took almost a full day, herding you from one section to the other in groups of about 20-30. His unit was special operations qualified. This meant that his unit could do several different assaults, and were qualified for several different specialties. �     He never was Jump qualified, and he had wished he had got that. The biggest change, socially, was that there were almost no females around. Almost 95% of the jobs available to the Marines were closed to women, so it was a big change that he saw when he first entered the service. The food was not as bad as everyone says it is. C-rations are terrible, but the chow hall was ok, and if you got off the Marine Corps base and onto an Air Force base, the chow there was pretty good. You live in a squad bay, which is filled with bunks occupied by 30-40 other guys. This was not too difficult for him, but it was still new. Once he was done with training, he was stationed in Camp Pendleton, California. From there he would do some special training in Norway and such. But he would spend most of his time in Okinawa, Japan. Active Duty (7:50)              Desert Storm began while they were on Okinawa, and they prepared for deployment to Iraq. They would not make it to Iraq however, as the ground war only took 3 days or so. The rest was Air war. From there, he went down to the Philippines for a 2-3 month stay, and back to Okinawa for the rest of his duty and then he would go back stateside from there. That would take about a year. He would form some friendships while down there. Other than your wife and kids, there are not stronger bonds made. You live with these guys 24/7, you go through all the hardships together, and the bond gets really strong. There is one guy that he contacts the most, but has not contacted him in a couple of years now. He has a few other guys that he would talk to after the time they spent in service together. He traveled to Japan in a civilian aircraft. They crossed the International Date Line on December 24, and landed on December 26. So the joke they had was that they really did miss Christmas. While he was in Japan, he would stay in contact via mail. Phone contact was very expensive, so mail call was a big deal for him while he was serving. Things today are different, of course, with computers and such. He said there were a lot of times where you were not very hygienic. This is why they cut your hair very short. It helped to prevent lice; it kept enemies from pulling on it in battle too. He would carry baby wipes to keep the worst away. After about two weeks in the field, he says you would be pretty ripe and ready for a shower. He did get to meet civilians, but did not make any lasting relationships because of the language barrier. He and his buddies would go to town and eat Japanese food, but he thinks the people there did not care for them too much. He would also see some of the worst things, likes bars or prostitutes. During his off time, he and his buddies would try to get scuba diving in. �        They would go to the capital city or the Air Force base to watch baseball games. If the chow was good you would go back for seconds. They would also go to a PX, which was similar to a mall. While he was there, he would also have to take special classes to learn how to drive on the other side of the road. He would show his international driving license. There was never really too much time off to go on huge excursions, so you did what you could. There was also a bowling alley on the Air Force base. He would stay a year total between the Philippines and Okinawa. While in the Philippines, your tour of duty was only 3 months, so they got you in and out pretty quickly. Subic Bay was a home to a large Navy base. He would serve as guard to the Navy personnel stationed there. Camp Hanson, in Okinawa, housed probably no more than 750 Marines. He and the others would travel together a unit. Post Duty (16:15)                 After the war he came back to Grand Rapids and began working at a Spartan store warehouse at the time. He found out quickly that it was not what he wanted to do the rest of his life. So he went back to Davenport and finished his degree in International Business. He did not have any difficulty adjusting to life when he got back to the US. Funny enough, what he missed the most was driving. Though he would drive a little bit in Japan he did not drive often enough. It was nice seeing places that you were most familiar with, things that you never really notice until you come back. He was married before he went into the service, but it didn’t last after that. He would write to his Mom and Dad, because his Mom would worry constantly. He would always write to his wife, but other than that he never really wrote to anybody else. His father did not encourage nor discourage his son from joining the war. His biggest question was why the Marine Corps Infantry. He believes that there is a tremendous amount that people can get out of going into the service. Even if you hated every minute of it, it really opens your eyes to what is important to you. He would not discourage people from joining it. He would get his rank from the time in his service. It wasn’t that difficult. He would get one of his awards for going above and beyond what was expected of him. Though most of them were unit awards and not individual honors. He goes through different items that he has from his time in the service. Pictures, cards, certification, and a Marine Corps Handbook, though he doubts anyone has read the whole thing. He would try to pick up stuff wherever he went. He also has some old uniforms lying around from his time in service as well. The coolest thing he thinks he has is a flak jacket. It’s very heavy, but not bullet proof. It was supposed to protect you from some of the shrapnel from the explosions. It did stop � a handgun round. He had to wear it while training in boot camp in southern California. It was miserable. (26:15) He also has a gun that the Navy Seals use. He got it after he got out of the service. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
