DH: And then you were referring to it a little earlier, but your son was born in camp then, too.

KN: Yes. We were out of camp, but then when he was ready to be born, you know, the birth date came real close, we came into camp and so I was at the camp hospital.

DH: For the delivery?

KN: Yes, for the delivery. Uh-huh.

DH: Pretty rough conditions?

KN: Well, the hospital was just a big barrack, and, yeah, it was rather primitive when you think about it now.

DH: And, again, you said there were no cotton for diapers, and you had to kind of borrow those things from everybody else and no money for gifts, for baby gifts or anything like that.

KN: Yeah, right. Uh huh.
