My personal experience with the Red Cross has not been very good. I was in the Army on Air Force base in Newfoundland at the time the Hungarian refugees were coming through to United States. They had rest breaks during stop overs for refueling etc on the planes and we did KP duty serving them lunch. Red Cross ladies came down and talked to the refugees while they were eating and or resting. Then when Hungarian people left, the Red Cross ladies had their lunch and gab fest. We prepared, served and cleaned up everything for refugees and Red Cross ladies. They basically did nothing. Then,when I got back to the states, I ran out of money with changing rental situations etc. ( lived off post). Tried to borrow $20 to tide me over to pay day. No dice, I had received my full pay check on schedule. With a car out of gas, no food on the table for Christmas, no telephones of course, my buddy happened to come by. He had $7 in his pocket, gave me half of that, and he had credit at a gas station so filled up the car. When they come around for donations, nothing for Red Cross from me. We had a rather heated meeting one time also while I was in the Army when Red Cross was seeking donations from us. Seems the head only got $100,000 back then but we didn"t feel too sorry for him. Their blood bank does good work around here but most everything is done by local volunteers but I am sure the top echelon get paid handsomely.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
