Shared note

I was born in Edenton North Carolina on Broad Street. My family and I moved to Washington D.C. when I was 2 years old. We lived in town for a while and then moved to a large farm in Maryland. We lived on the farm until about 1938 or 1939 and then moved to Washington D.C. on Minnesota Avenue, S. E. I attended Stanton and Orr elementary schools, Kramer Jr. High and Anacostia High school. While going to school I had many different jobs: carrying groceries at stores, served newspapers, worked at Peoples Drug Store as a soda jerk, and worked in large department stores. I sold newspapers EXTRA edition for the TIMES HERALD when WW II started on December 7th 1941. PEARL HARBOR WAS ATTACKED BY Japan. I felt that this country was in for the fight of its existence when we declared war with Japan and Germany. This country was still in the depression years and did not come out of the depression until WW II. I remember the troop trains filled with GI's and the movement of trainloads of tanks, trucks and other Army equipment being pulled by large steam engines. We displayed a 2 star flag in our living room window representing my brothers, Albert and Hubert, who were in the war. We lived not far from the railroad-switching yard, you could see rail cars stretched for miles, loaded with expended artillary shells. Gas, tires, butter, sugar and many other commodities were rationed. We saved newspapers, empty toothpaste containers and cans for the war effort. We also had a Victory garden. We experienced many black outs during air-raid drills. In 1949 I joined the Air Force and was sent to Sheppard AFB where I received 13 weeks of basic training. I also completed Aircraft and Engine school while at Sheppard. Just as I completed my training, the Korean War broke out. It was June 1950 and I was stationed at Andrews AFB, I received orders to ship out in 48 hours to join the 4th fighter wing in Korea. The next day I received new orders to go to Chanute AFB for instrument school. After completing my course I was put in a program working out the kinks of the ZERO READER known as ILS or OMNI today. I was discharged in the later part of 1952 and got married. I went to work for Sun Oil Co. and later opened a station in Alexandria Va. for a friend and I was the manager. I was offered a job as an Air Technician with the DC Air National Guard in 1956 and worked there until late 1967 when I then entered Flight Engineering School. Back to Sheppard AFB and then later to Tinker AFB for training. As an engineer I traveled many places in the world. In 1969 I went to work for General Electric Co. and worked for them until 1980. I then went to work for the V.A. hospital in Knoxville Iowa until I retired in March 1995. In 1978
