This little albino swallow was hatched in a nest just over our front door in Sioux Falls, SD. We were able to watch him grow. He was very beautiful and very unusual.
I was drafted in the Army in 1945. I took my training in Fort Knox, KY and Fort Ord, CA and was stationed in Saipan for 13 months during WWII. I was the company clerk for the "2848 Engineer Gas Generating Detachment on Saipan. They produced Oxygen, Acetylene Welding Gas,and CO 2. After WWII, I joined the reserves and was called back to serve in the Korea War for a year in 1952. I was with the S-1 Section. During this time I attained the rank of sergeant first class.
