I was glad to be back at work, but I felt that I didn't fit in at the plant as well as I did when I had left. So many changes had taken place, mostly in personnel. I had gone through some very unusual experiences in the last three years and that, no doubt, had alot to do with it.
Guess I can't complain as I went through three years of service without a scratch. The only serious problem I had was having fungus in one ear while stationed on Bougainville. Our battalion doctor sent me to the Naval Base on the island. The name of the doctor that treated me sounded familiar, Colhoun (Lt. Commander). Having learned that we were both from the Roanoke, Virginia area, he invited me to a back room where we had a very neighborly chat.
