BU: You know, when I was there in the MASH hospital after the war was finished in '53 or '54, I had a Korean clinic. I had a lot of fun with the Korean clinic. It was just like, just same being a family doctor. I used to see 105 to 110 patients every day. I took care of three orphanage homes and I talked, I talked the nurses to come with me. I used to have, usually have two, three nurses come with me to take care of the orphanage, three orphanage homes.

DG: Were these American nurses?

BU: Huh?

DG: American nurses?

BU: No, no. These are Korean, Korean nurses because they had a lot of casualties so, therefore, they had a lot of families with orphans. And I managed to furnish the food to the barrel, fifty pound barrel of dried milk. I don't know if they ever use the gallon, fifty gallon barrel, of salted wieners. I never ate a salted wiener in all the time I was there. We used to always get salted wieners, but I never ate any. And then we'd get antibiotics and everything else and bring it with us. It was a lot of penicillin. So that, so that at least to the Koreans, I did a lot of good. When I got finished with Korea, the Korean military gave me one little piece saying, "Thank you for all the things you did." That's it.
