The interviewer is James Smither of the Grand Valley State University Veterans History Project. Start us off with some background on yourself. And to begin with, where and when were you born? William Wall: 2/11/24 in Hope, Michigan. JS: Now what part of Michigan is that in? WW: Midland County. North of Midland, just below ____. JS: So, lower peninsula. East of Lansing. Now did you grow up there, or did you move around? WW: I grew up in Midland, but Hope was a farm. And my folks lived in Midland, and then they moved to the farm, and then they moved back to Midland. The farm is still in the family. JS: Why were you moving back and forth? Did your father change jobs? WW: My grandparents bought 120 acres in Hope with a barn, a home, and my mother and father went there to live and farm. And my dad found out he was not a farmer. He scratched out a living but that was about all. I don’t know the date, but Dow Chemical company was starting out, and he went to Midland to get a job and they hired him, so we went to Midland to live. JS: Did you go to high school in Midland? WW: Yes. JS: And did you graduate from high school? WW: Yes. JS: Before that though, do you remember how you heard about Pearl Harbor? �WW: No. I really don’t. I don’t. JS: Okay. I just ask that. Most people do, but not everyone. On the other hand, once that does happen, how did the start of the war affect the community, the school, or anything like that? WW: I guess I don’t… JS: Were a lot of people now going off to enlist in the military? WW: My brother, he enlisted. But my next-door neighbor, my folks, was on the draft board in Midland. And I wanted to enlist. When he’d come over and talk to my dad, and I was there. And he said, “Jim. Don’t let him enlist.” He said, “I need a quota, and I want him on the quota.” It was a case of he needed bodies, and I was one of them, so I just waited for them to draft me. JS: When did you get drafted? WW: In August. I don’t know the date; I know the month was August. JS: Was it August of ’43? WW: Yup. JS: So, by then you’re 19? WW: Yup. JS: When had you graduated from high school? WW: ’43. JS: So, it’s only just a couple of months between finishing high school… WW: Two months. JS: When you’re drafted, what branch of service did they put you in? WW: Navy. JS: Where did they send you for your training? WW: Chicago. �JS: To Great Lakes? WW: Yup. Great Lakes. JS: So, north of the city itself…. And what was Navy boot-camp like? WW: I really don’t…. A hundred guys there, you know? It was only just a couple of months. We didn’t learn anything. It was just existing and getting the uniform. [4:47] JS: Did they have you do marching? WW: Oh yeah! We did march. But that would be about the only thing. JS: Did the Navy teach you how to tie knots? WW: Yeah. JS: Did they teach you firefighting or put you in a room full of smoke? WW: Nope. Oh, yes! They gave us a gas mask and had us go through a room that had something in it. Tear gas! And I do remember that because the guy in front of me that used the gas mask that I used got the stuff inside of it and when I put it on, it was just terrible. JS: So, you were sharing gas masks? WW: Oh yeah! JS: And how hard or easy was it for you to adjust to life in the military? WW: No problem at all! In fact, my dad was worried about me because I was fairly young. He came down to Great Lakes to see me, and spent maybe two or three hours with me, and then come back home and tell my mother that, “Don’t worry about him! He’s got it, and he’s okay!” JS: But still, it’s a pretty short time. You’re only there a couple of months. So where do you go next? WW: San Clemente Island. I took a train, and a hundred other guys, and we went to San Diego. �JS: Do you remember anything about the train ride? WW: Yeah. JS: What was that like? WW: It was crowded. And they would stop real often to get water…usually in a town. All the towns people would come out because all the service men were hanging out the window, putting their name and address on a piece of paper, handing it out. And I didn’t do that. JS: Were you able to get off the train at all? WW: Yeah. Well, you got off, but they kept pretty close tabs on you, you didn’t get very far away. But they would let you off to walk around a little bit, and then they’d round you back up. JS: Did you get any sleep on the train? WW: Yeah, we must have. JS: But you didn’t have Pullman Cars, you were just in the regular seats? WW: Well, those seats would pull down, but then there’d only be room for two, but if they were up, there was room for four, so they were up. You sleep sitting up. JS: About how long did the train trip take? WW: You know that’s something I have no idea! Because they didn’t go straight. They went north. And of course, everyone was always wondering where we were going. And you would wake up in the morning and the sun would be on one side of the train, wake up the next morning and it’d be on the other side of the train, so we were going zig-zag. Of course, when we got to the mountains, I pretty well figured it out that we were going to the west coast. [9:04] JS: So where is San Clemente Island? WW: It’s 70 miles off the coast of San Diego, just south of Catalina. Catalina is known because it was a resort and there are people there year-round. San Clemente was a naval base and an air base. The military, they owned the whole thing. JS: There’s no town there? There’s no civilians? �WW: No. Just sailors and marines. JS: So, when you got there then, what kind of facilities did you have? Where were you sleeping…? WW: They had a base built. There were barracks, and I’ll call it an entertainment center, and a galley, and showers, and toilets. It was pretty well put together. And a BOQ. It was ready. In fact, it had some houses on it, for the officers that had wives. Those that didn’t lived in the BOQ. JS: BOQ? What does that stand for? WW: Bachelor’s Officers’ Quarters. JS: But you’re just an enlisted man, so you’re just in the regular barracks? WW: Yeah, just the regular barracks. JS: What was your job there? WW: When I first go there I was just a seaman. I’d sweep the floor, wash the windows. But then they found out I was a new carpenter, and knew how to turn a table saw on and off. You can go to the carpenter shop! And then I had a fellow I went to school with who graduated. He was there with me too. He was a Finnish carpenter, and he recommended I get into the carpenter shop. [11:25] JS: So, what does a carpenter on a naval base do? WW: Repair windows, screens. Build whatever they needed. But the big job was making picture frames, believe it or not! Every officer wanted a picture frame. Of course, the island had a lot of abalone. Abalone, the shell, is real pretty on the inside. JS: Yeah, it’s like a mother-of-pearl kind of thing. WW: I was on the lobster crew, and they used abalone for bait for the lobsters. The lobsters would eat the bait, and there would be that shell. I would bring them back to the carpenter shop. And they would cut that in strips and inlay it into a piece of wood and then sand it smooth, and that would make a picture frame. Real pretty! Of course, every officer there wanted you to make one, two, three, can you make me another one?! They would also make suitcases, suitcases out of plywood. They were nice. They were pretty �and finished nice. If you didn’t, you had a sea bag when you went to shore. That didn’t cut it. JS: So, you had a wooden suitcase instead? WW: We made a lot of suitcases, yup. The guys would go ashore and buy handles, hinges, and little caps to go on the corners. They’d bring them back in a little bag and say, “Make me a suitcase.” [13:40] JS: What was the main function of the naval base there? What was going on there? WW: Well, several. One thing was, the navy used it for bombardment. The island was 27 miles long and 4 miles wide. The south end of it was nothing. But the navy would drop off some, whatever, workers, unbeknownst to us. They didn’t go through us or go near us, but they would build bunkers like what the Japanese had. They would be replicas of what they had. And those boys with the big guns would be out of sight, but you could hear them. And they would shell those bunkers to see what damage they could do to them from what distance, and whether they could hit them or not. That was one thing. The other thing was we had a real good rifle range. In fact, it was a ranger base at one time. The rifle range was excellent. And of course, the navy still wanted to use it. And the dock wasn’t deep enough for any large ships, so they would anchor out and bring them a crew, a few at a time, and we would take them up to the rifle range, and they would practice shooting. They had real nice targets. Pull down, back up. It was state of the art at the time. [15:57] JS: And there was also an air force base there? WW: There was an air force base there, but I think they had maybe two, or three, or four airplanes. It wasn’t anything. It was just, I’m assuming, just in case Japanese would get that far. JS: Did they have patrol planes, or were they fighters, or do you not know what they were? WW: Well, they had two PBYs that I knew of, and the other two or three, I don’t know what they were, I don’t remember. But I do remember the PBYs because we would, our liberty crew…. It took all day to go from San Clemente Island to San Diego, but if you could catch an airplane…. So, occasionally, we’d catch a PBY and they’d be going into San Diego or one of the ports, and I caught them a few times, you know. �JS: So, how often could you actually get back to the mainland? WW: Every two weeks. Every two weeks we had five days off. Now, give or take, that doesn’t come out right. We had three or four liberty groups, so there was always one crew on shore. And they would come back on an old, old, old ____. Moosehead was the name of it. IX 98. They put the IX on it because it was decommissioned a couple of times. That’s the thing we rode back and forth, and it took most of the day to get back and forth. And they brought supplies – water – for the crew, for us. JS: Did the island not have fresh water? WW: No. They had water. It had a steep shoreline – it was like a mountain. And they had built a cement pad, and the down-side of it had a drain, and it drained into a homemade cistern. That water was used for showers, or whatever. But the drinking water came from San Diego. It took them all day to pump it. That was that. After…Maybe I was there a short period of time, don’t know just how long, they had some new sailors come. But they didn’t talk to us. They were by themselves. They had their own barracks. They did eat with us, but like a group, they all sat with themselves. As a young kid, I didn’t think anything of it. And even at the time, they had a thing on the roof that kept turning. I didn’t think anything of it. No body did, you know. What the hell are they trying to do? Well, it was radar at its infancy. They had started, and of course, it was an ideal place because they didn’t have any communications. No workers coming in and spying on them. It was really an ideal set up. [20:32] JS: Well, by this time, we were using a lot of radar. It was on naval ships, but still, it was a logical place for a radar station. And this may have been fairly advanced one. WW: It was what? JS: It may have been an advanced technology. We had radar for a while already, by the time you were in the Navy. They’re expanding it…. WW: Well, yeah. I’m assuming it just started because the building was already there. Where else but a private place like that where nobody could…they could have it twirling, and no body would wonder what it was, other than the sailors. I suppose they didn’t talk. JS: But they’re not talking to you? They’re not telling you about what they’re doing? WW: No. And the sailors that were in that program, they didn’t talk to us much either. It was kind of off by itself. �JS: How much information did you have about how the rest of the war was going? You’re in your own little world on this island here. WW: Oh yeah. But every two weeks, we went to shore. And within five days you could drink a lot of booze, and you could chase a lot of women, and if you’re lucky, you could find your way back. JS: When you went ashore, did you stay on one of the naval bases in San Diego, or were you turned loose? WW: No, no, no. First thing you did was jump on a train, head for L.A. Train rides were free. You just jump on and go, and when you got where you wanted to go, you just jump off, you didn’t have to ask anybody or pay anybody. It was just on and off. Free! Free ride! JS: So, there was more to do in L.A. then in San Diego? WW: Pardon? JS: There was more to do in L.A. then in San Diego? WW: Oh yeah! The competition in San Diego…. You know, there were a hundred thousand sailors there, with all the ships coming in and docking. One air craft carrier, you know how many sailors could come off that. We didn’t even slow down. Just got off the ship and catch the first ride to…. [23:36] JS: So, what would you do in L.A.? WW: Now that’s a silly question to ask a sailor! JS: There are different answers… WW: We chased a lot of women! A lot of them! Catch a few…. You’d usually get a hotel room with four guys. Two beds, four guys. Back then, a hotel room was maybe $10, so for two or three days, it was real expensive. And we didn’t stay in the best hotels either. You went with the low end! JS: And you spend a lot of time somewhere else? WW: Yeah, yeah. You’re right! �JS: When you were there, there were famous places for service men: Hollywood Canteen, things like that. Did you go to any of those? WW: I tried. Several times I tried to go to that Hollywood Canteen, but there was always so many people there, so many sailors, soldiers. You’d stand outside and wait to get in. I guess we got in once, and it was elbow to elbow. And that wasn’t fun, so we left. I never went back. I gave that up as a bad deal. JS: Now out on the island, what kind of entertainment did they have for you? WW: I was kind of a businessman, you might say, in my youth. They had a bowling alley with four lanes, and I ran that. Then they had a lobster crew. The admiral of the 11 th Naval District liked lobsters. He sent out a boat and wanted us to catch him some lobsters. Of course, that island had a lot of lobsters. They were just all over the place. Depending on the weather…. Of course, the carpenter shop, we made the traps. If the weather was good, we’d get a lot of lobsters, but if the weather was bad, we’d caught hell because the admiral would be right on the radio wanting to know where his lobsters were. They tried to explain to him that the weather’s been bad, and he didn’t buy that. He wanted lobsters. And he paid a whopping $1.50 a dozen. Of course, it was his boat, his gas, his time. So, it wasn’t so bad. [27:17] JS: Would you go out on the lobster boat? Or did you just make the traps? WW: We had to go out at I think 5:00 in the morning. Because, of course, we had to get back and eat breakfast, and stand muster, and do our normal work. This lobster deal was after work. But it paid good. I don’t remember how many were on it, but we had to have two crews because of this liberty deal. And then we had a cook, and he’d boil the lobsters, so he had to get in on it. JS: So, you didn’t have a lobster tank where you’d keep them for a while? You would just cook them right away? WW: No. We’d bring the lobsters in and he’d boil them. I suppose they’d fly them to San Diego. I don’t know. JS: So, the admiral is not there on the island with you? He’s back in San Diego? WW: Yeah. He’s in San Diego. He’s got some friends back there that like lobsters. We have to feed them. The radio would just bounce, and the weather was bad. They’d try to explain to him that…the five foot, six foot waves out there. Why can’t you just go to the other side of the island? That doesn’t work. �JS: Did you get to keep any of the lobsters for yourself? WW: Yeah. Yup. We had a little burner in the woodshop and a pot, and we’d take out some small ones. And somebody’d go down to the galley and get a loaf bread so we could have lobster sandwiches. They were good. A little butter…. They went down pretty easy. JS: On the island, did they have a movie theater up there or some place to show movies? WW: They had a room. They’d show movies. And the bowling alley. And then they had a bar. They sold beer, but of course I was too young to participate in that. The bowling alley was four lanes and that was in the basement of where the theater was. It was pretty well built, pretty well managed, I would say. They had paved streets and curbs. [30:44] JS: Now, you’re in the military at a point when it’s still segregated. Were there any black sailors at the island at all? WW: Yup. JS: And what did they do? WW: Cooks. In fact, the one that boiled our lobsters were black. But they were all in the BOQ. All of them. JS: So, they’re really just there as stewards or people to look after the officers? WW: Yup. We did have one guy from Texas there. I don’t know why they moved some of the black sailors into the barracks he was sleeping in. He was hot. He didn’t want that. In fact, he took his hammock outside. And of course, they had places for the hammocks. And he tied his hammock out there and he slept out there for a couple of nights until they decided they would do something different. They had extra barracks, but for some reason wanted to irritate him, I guess. He was a nice enough guy. He was an awful good poker player and a good craps shooter. There was a lot of that going on on pay day. JS: Were you perfectly happy to have this job, or did you think you ought to be in the real war? �WW: I was a happy sailor. In fact, my name came up three times for transfer. Each time, someone else would want to go. And it was kind of funny because they’d come down to me and ask, “Is it okay if I go down and see if I can take your place?” Have at it! I love you! Because I was happy! JS: So, were there a lot of men who got reassigned and went other places? So, you show up on the island in late ’43, and then you’re there for the rest of the war. Were there a lot of guys that got transferred out, or just a few? WW: Oh, transferred off the island? JS: Yeah. WW: Oh yeah. They’d come and go. Not a lot, but there was…. In fact, one of the guys that came to me wanting to take my place – in fact I think it was the last one – I certainly told him ____. He ended up on the same ship as my brother. That was kind of different. [33:51] JS: You finished at the rank of Carpenter Third Class. Do the ranks, how do they count? Is third higher than second, or the other way around? WW: No, no. First class is highest. It goes third, second, first. Third class had three stripes, second class had two…. I was low man on the totem pole. I did take the exam for second class, and I was sure I passed it – I didn’t have any doubt in my mind. But, the chief petty officer that ran the carpenter shop had a friend in the carpenter shop. He was third class too, the two of us. And there was an opening for second class, so we both wrote the exam. And I was sure I passed it, but you’re never know, you know. Anyway, so orders come in for William Wall to do a 30-day transfer to San Diego – 30 days in San Diego. Oh, alright. I’ll go. I packed up, they took me to San Diego, and I spent 30 days doing absolutely nothing. I come back, the other guy had made second class while I was gone. I just figured the chief wanted me out of there while he made the next grade. Which, he…. That was what he wanted. I was such a good poker player that the little bit they were giving me didn’t make a bit of difference to me. I was just an extremely good poker player. [35:52] JS: So, you’re having a perfectly good time, and the rest of it didn’t matter? WW: I had a ball! I did have some times when things were a little hairy, but as it went, I really had a good time. JS: When you say things got hairy, what kind of things happened? �WW: We had to take these sailors from ground level up to that rifle range. They had trucks that had seats – benches – in them. And they’d come, of course, they didn’t have truck drivers sitting there waiting there for them. They’d say, “Can you drive a truck?” Yeah, we can drive a truck. Anyway, coming back…I was coming up one of those and I started to roll backwards. And I jumped on brakes, and I couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t go forward – couldn’t do anything with it. Of course, it was empty, I didn’t have any sailors. So, I eased off the brake and I backed all the way down, which really wasn’t that far, but it was far enough. I got down to the valley, and I got out and looked and the drive shaft – the U-joint – had broke. And the drive shaft just laid there. And right over the edge was a 25, 100 foot drop off. That was probably my scariest moment. As it went, it was good. I enjoyed it. I made a lot of friends. JS: Now, you’re there. Eventually the war itself comes to an end in the middle of ’45. Did that change anything on the base, once the war ended, once the Japanese surrendered. WW: Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. It changed conversation, that’s for sure. Everybody’s talking about going home. When it first ended, we didn’t have enough points – we were considered in the state-side. I don’t know, in maybe two or three weeks they decided that we were far enough out that we could get – we didn’t get sea paid because we were too close to shore, although we were 70 miles off the coast, we still didn’t get sea paid. But they decided that they would give us points for sea, which gave me enough to get out. The chief, he wanted me to stay. I didn’t want to say. But he said, “Well I’ll give you the next rank up.” I think if he had said two I would have stayed, but one wasn’t enough. [39:43] JS: So, when did you leave the island then? WW: Well, it must have been February. JS: 1946 then? WW: Hmm? JS: 1946? [Video/Audio Errors, next few seconds] �WW: Yeah. I made a couple of mistakes. My ear drums. While I was on that island, I developed perforated ear drums, and boy are those painful. And as a young kid, it just busted one night. It wasn’t earthshaking, it was just a set-back. JS: What had happened to your ear? WW: I don’t know. It just busted one night. Of course, we had some real large saws in the carpenter shop. Not that we needed them. We didn’t need them. But here’s this island. The Navy would say, we got this piece of equipment, in this case a saw, and if you want it, you can have it. Of course, the chief in charge: “Oh, we’ll take it!” And it was a monster. It was probably made to cut 12, 14-inch logs. The used to use those to shore up a ship when it was in dry-dock, and they’d hammer them in with a sledge hammer. It had a huge blade. We never used it, but it was there. They started it up every once in a while. It just screamed. As I look back on it, at the time it didn’t bother me. A 19-year-old kid, “you can’t hurt this guy.” But I think it did, and it took 40 years to show up. [43:38] JS: Once you got out of the Navy, what did you do? WW: Well, I always liked retail. Of course, when I was in the Navy, I ran it like a business. I kept busy, and I enjoyed that. My uncle owned a hardware store, but he had a full crew. So, I went to work for another hardware store. Then he decides that maybe he’d like to retire. So, I bought it. I ran that for maybe 10 years. But in the process, Sears-Roebuck moved into town, and of course they spent up a lot of trade. The business was not fast, but you could tell it was trailing off a little bit. At the time, I took out out-board motors to sell, and boats, and that was really going. I rented a garage, a used car lot – not a used car – a new car dealership had moved, and the woman had the building that was just right for me. It had parking and big doors, just everything was just right, so I rented it from her. Then one day, a guy came in and wanted to buy it from me. Being a good business man, anything I have is for sale, so I always wanted to make money, and I sold it to him. I went home and told the wife I had sold it, and she had a fit, because I was unemployed. Then a friend of mine called me up and wanted to know if I would be interested in selling cars. So, then I went into the car business. And that lasted a long time. When I decided to quit work altogether, I was still playing in the car business – not real heavy, but I had my finger in it. Once you get that bug, you know, you can’t quit! It’s just in the blood veins. [46:41] JS: When you look back at the time you spent in the Navy, what do you think you took out of that or how did it affect you? �WW: What? JS: How did being in the Navy affect you? Did you learn anything from it or did you grow up at all? WW: [Laughs] Oh boy! Yeah. Oh yeah. I learned how to chase women. I do remember that. And out in L.A. there were a lot of women to chase. But it was fun. And there were some hairy times too. I got hooked up with some guys from the island, and I thought I knew them. I stayed with them in the hotel, and oh, were they different. It only took me one trip, and then the next time I was busy. I steered clear of them. But those are the tings you learn, and you learn from your mistakes. You just have to be careful. But as a whole, I enjoyed my time. I had some pretty good buddies. We stuck together pretty good and knew right from wrong. You like women. One under your arm and go someplace. It was a time when I grew up and enjoyed it. JS: Well it makes for a pretty good story, and an unusual story. WW: Well, yeah. There were no gun shows. No big guns going off. Although, those bunkers those guys were firing on were…. And of course, as they would fire on that, that island in a certain part of the year would be real dry, and would start grass fires. And I don’t care if you’re a first class bowman or a third class sweeper, you got a broom, and you went out, and you brushed the fire. It was all just grass, but it still had to be put out. [49:42] JS: So, you were getting brush fires even on your end of the island? WW: Oh yeah. Those ships would practice cinerary bombs. They’d go off off above and scatter that hot stuff, and of course, it would burn. They would know that they were going to do it and they would have the trucks ready loaded with brooms and some water. You’d get the broom with a rag on it in the water, and then drag it on the grass to put out the fire. Really a hot way of doing things! That was technology at its best. JS: Well, thank you very much. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was drafted into the Navy shortly after he finished high school.in 1943. He trained at Great Lakes, Illinois, and was assigned to San Clemente Island, off the coast near San Diego, and worked as a carpenter. The island had a rifle range and some other training facilities, and housed a few seaplanes and a radar station, but was mostly out of the way of the war. With little war work to do, Mr. Wall built things such as picture frames, suitcases, and lobster traps. He also ran a small bowling alley on the base, played a lot of poker, helped tend the lobster traps, and took trips to the mainland when he could. He enjoyed his life there, and turned down opportunities to transfer elsewhere, and stayed at San Clemente until his discharge in 1946.

He attended Oil City High School, and two weeks after he turned 17, he graduated high school. Hank was too young to enlist in the military without his parent’s permission, so his parents sent him to Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania for one year. At the end of that year in April 1945, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Military Service (01:15)          Hank was sent to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for induction, and on Memorial Day 1945 he was sent to boot camp in Bainbridge, Maryland. They were tested the first day there, and he was identified as a candidate for sonar school after he completed his basic training. His basic training consisted of obstacle courses, swinging on ropes, marching and running. The most difficult part for Hank was the survival training. During this time, he had to pass a swimming test that was two laps in an Olympic pool. The most difficult part for him was the water survival test. For this he had to jump off a twenty foot tower into the pool fully dressed except for shoes. Once they hit the water, they had to take off their shirt, tie off the neck and sleeves and use it to make a flotation device. Hank had to perform the action several times until he was able to pass it. (03:43) After that, they cancelled all the boot camp training and all of the secondary schools because the war in Germany was closing down. Once he completed boot camp, they were sent to Camp Perry, Virginia and stayed there for two weeks training on heavy equipment such as ditch diggers and cranes. They were then put on a train and four days later reached Port Hueneme, California. At the port, they waited for a full load to fill the troop ship, which took another two weeks. While there, the men were all required to have a job, so Hank chose to set bowling pins at the bowling alley. (05:56) They thought they were being shipped to Guam. On board the troop ship, they slept in cots that were stacked four high. The ship stopped at a little island named Eniwetok and once there, a man called four names, one of which was Hank’s. He was transferred to the USS Pavlik APD 70 (All Purpose Destroyer]. He was a deck ape, and for three weeks chipped the deck and painted. When they were out to sea and the water was calm, they were able to put a platform over the side of the deck and paint. (07:49) �                  While on board the ship, he met an officer that had attended the same college he did. The officer asked if he wanted to come and work for him. He was in charge of all the quartermaster facilities on board the ship, which included the supply closets, the stores, the dining menu and the laundry. (09:45) He had two other people working for him, and the office was very small. Hank worked as the disburser, who paid people on the ship. On the APD, they had a five inch gun on the front of the ship, and over the bridge they had batteries of Pom Pom guns, which were used primarily against aircraft. (11:46) The ship was also armed with depth charges. Hank volunteered to become a sight setter for the five inch gun. He controlled the wheels that adjusted windage and elevation. The ships mission was to patrol there section of the Pacific Ocean two hundred miles from Japan. They would pick up flyers that were coming back from bombing Japan and weren’t able to land. (13:58) His ship never picked up any flyers, but ships that were with them did. The ship carried a crew of 128 men. They were sent to Yokosuka Harbor six days after the war had ended. They weren’t allowed to dock on the land, so they attached themselves to a bell out in the harbor about 800 yards from shore. (15:43) The men became bored on their ship, and they could not go on land because it was not secure outside of the Army secured area. Still working as the disbursing man, Hank was shown inside the safe onboard ship that held $700,000. (18:30) After being there for several months, they wanted to acquire an empty warehouse on shore to turn into a recreational facility for the crew. The Lieutenant Commander onboard ship tried unsuccessfully, so Hank was given 72 hours to get one himself. So he sat down and wrote a letter to the Army, he later delivered it directly to General MacArthur’s Headquarters at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. At the office, he met a man he knew from back home in the states, who was now working as one of MacArthur’s aids. Fifteen minutes later he was given an order giving them permission to use the warehouse for as long as they were stationed there. (24:45) They had a ping-pong table and some card tables in the warehouse. They also bought some beer from the PX. Some men did some painting on the walls and they really fixed up the place. Most of the men only wanted small amounts of their pay, usually around $25. (26:55) Hank kept track of all the files about who got paid and how much they were given. Eventually they were able to travel around Japan. Hank visited Komikuri and saw the shrines and other religious sites around the area. (28:38) On one occasion he was able to go into a family’s home and he saw that the house was bare except for three rolled up mats in the corner that they slept on at night. They ate fish, rice and a soup made out of seaweed. (30:30) The exchange rate at that time was 15 Yen per dollar. Americans would take a pack of cigarettes and sell them to the Japanese and then take the Yen and have it converted into dollars. Later, a limit was put on the amount that could be converted. �           Communication was very bad in Japan at the time, and many people did not know the war was over. They were warned not to drink the whiskey because it may be the wrong alcohol. (32:45) At night, Hank would sometimes write letters for other sailors that couldn’t write themselves. (35:51) Occasionally they would set up a screen on the deck of the ship and show movies. By the end of July 1946, they were ordered back to the states. They traveled to Hawaii, then to Charleston, South Carolina by way of the Panama Canal. When they got there, they were told they were going to refurbish their ship. (38:05) Hank had to take all the money out of the safe and remove all the pay records and brought them to the Philadelphia Naval Command for an audit. At that point, Hank was given an honorable discharge. He served as SK3C (Store Keeper/Disbursal) and he was discharged on August 19, 1946. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom, along with all the other men that served with him at that time. When he was given his dog tags, they read: Hank G. Wallace, Service Number, Date of Enlistment, USNR, A (blood type). Luckily, he was never injured, because his blood type is not A. (40:30) The only souvenir that he brought home was the bayonet that fit on the barrel of his rifle. He was awarded the Atlantic Area and Pacific Area fleet ribbons. On December 7, 1945 two Japanese men swam from the shore and tried to climb up the lines that held them anchored. They were armed with knives, but the pair was discovered by the deck patrol and jumped off the deck and got away. Thinking Back (44:03)       Hank chose to join the Navy because he was so small (5’4”, 128 lbs.) he didn’t want to join the Army or Marine Corps and run into a big German and make him think that he had run out of men. He adapted well to military life, and he enjoyed the relationships that he had with his fellow serviceman. The food was surprisingly good, and Hank helped to come up with the menu. When the war ended, he was out to sea about two hundred miles from Japan. (46:10) After the war, he adjusted well back into civilian life. Shortly after returning home he reentered college. Hank learned in the service that people have to make the most of what you have. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I realized that it was affecting thousands of people in other countries than the United States. Being at school, I did not watch the news in my apartment or anything. The only news I would see regarding the coronavirus was on Twitter. As more days went by in March, there were more cases found and more people dying. Especially knowing that there were cases in our country, I was more aware of how serious this virus was becoming. Towards the end of March when we got the email about transitioning to online classes, My roommates and I started to pack some of our things to go back to our permanent residency. I stayed for a few more days after the email got sent to us so I could have time to pack some of my clothes and other essential things I needed to bring back home. My roommates and I are living in the same apartment we were in this school year next school year also, so I did not have to move every single thing out. I stayed long enough to eat the rest of my food that would go bad and packed the rest of my bags to go home. The semester was more than half way through by the time I came back home for online classes, so I was basically starting to study for finals coming up and I was nervous for how they were going to be since they were not going to be in person. I had a course this semester that was a hybrid, so I only planned to meet with that class in person for a couple exams and the rest of the class was taught online. That was the only class relatively similar to what the rest of my classes were going to be like until finals. Being at school and attending each of my classes on �campus everyday meant I had a set schedule. Knowing I was just going to be on my laptop all day for every class at home made me lose motivation to get things done early like I would at school. Even my sleeping and eating habits were off. I still had reminders set in my phone each day to get notes done and finish homework assignments but, I was more likely to just ignore them because I knew I was just stuck home and I would tell myself “I’ll do it tomorrow”. One class I did not enjoy online was my anatomy lab. That is normally a class I look forward to because it is a hands on course and it helps me understand the material better that I am learning in lecture. Having it be online was just not the same I did not get the best experience I could have. None of my courses were the best experience when everything was online, it just makes school less intriguing to me. And I really enjoy school, especially when everything I am learning is beneficial to my future career. Coming back home wasn’t bad because I love hanging out with my family and dog but after a few weeks, it gets hectic in my house. My three younger siblings can be loud and obnoxious and there is never a time when it is completely silent in my house. As you can imagine, I got annoyed quickly especially when I was trying to do my school stuff and I could not concentrate half the time. And with a pandemic going on and social distancing in place, I could not exactly leave my house. Over time, I was able to cope and get my assignments done. My dad has been working from home since the stay at home order was in place, but my brother and mom were still going to work because they are part of the essential workers. My mom is a labor and delivery nurse, so she is in a hospital more than three times a week and my brother works at Ace Hardware. With them being out around other people, but wearing masks, they do not know who they could be around who might have the virus or if they might have the virus and not be showing symptoms. It is scary to think that they could end up getting the virus and bring it �back into our home without even knowing they might have it. We have been washing our hands and keeping good hygiene while being at home. If we do need to leave our house for groceries or other necessities, my mom and sister had sewed a bunch of masks for us to wear for protection. It is very important to try and take things like this seriously in our lives. Events like this will go down in history because of the enormous impact it has made throughout the whole world. People need to make sure they try and listen to the orders of social distancing and staying home because if they decide to go around with friends, not washing their hands as often as they should, and or not wearing a mask to protect themselves and others, the curve will never flatten. Life will never be the same again because of this virus and most people know that. But everyone should do their part to try and get life back to normal or close to it. No one wants to live like this and see loved ones and others mourn from the losses of those who lived near and dear to them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 Journals Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grand Valley State University. University Libraries Description An account of the resource This collection of journals and personal narratives was solicited from the GVSU community by archivists of the University Libraries during the events of the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic. During this unprecedented crisis the university closed suddenly, following federal and state guidelines of social distancing to reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus. The university closed its campuses on March 12, 2020, and quickly moved students out of campus housing. Faculty swiftly transitioned to fully-online teaching for the remainder of the Winter 2020 semester, and all campus events, including commencement, were cancelled. The purpose of the COVID-19 Journaling Project was to document the individual and personal experiences of GVSU’s students, staff, faculty, and the wider community during this time of international crisis. Some project participants were university student employees who were compensated for their journaling. Other participants were granted stipends or extra credit for submitting entries to the archives. Still others participated without any compensation or credit. The University Archives remains grateful to all who submitted journals, for helping us to understand the impact of this crisis on our community.
