Is the date I left Dad's farm, and joined the Navy. I was a prime candidate for the draft. Mom told me I received my draft notice shortly after I went in. Kids are lucky today, and don't have to be worried drafted, This was always on my mind. I helped Dad farming some, but he was about to quit so there wasn't much to do. I had a job in a small factory, not going any were in life. I didn't like going in the service, but didn't have much of a choice. I couldn't see going to Canada to hide. The service opened up a whole new world for me. Don't know about some of you, but I would do it again. Stan
