DOB: 26 September 1919
Place of Birth: Amherst, NY

Pre-war life: I finished High School in 1937 and went to college for one year. That wasn't my thing so I went to work
in the family business, Welding and Industrial fabrication. My number came up and I went. My mother didn't want me to go,
but where could I run to, I wanted to go anyway. I didn't want to be branded a coward. So I bid my girl farewell and went
off to train.
