MN: Now, as a kid, as a pastime you were always, you talked about also hitching a ride on the army truck. Tell me about that story.

TS: Army truck would come through the front gate and they would go at about ten miles an hour and they'd go, I don't know where they were going, and they had the back tailgate down and we'd jump up there. They'd know we were on there, but they never tried to chase us off or anything. They just let us ride. We rode all around the camp. It was a free ride 'cause it's the only transportation there was. We just had fun riding.

MN: So, so the army people were pretty friendly with the kids?

TS: (Yes), the army guys were very friendly.
