DG: Tell me a little bit more about the Judge Advocate office. Did you have any other things that you worked with?

TS: There was no, no regulations, no instructions, so I had to go by guess and by gosh.

DG: Were there any other incidents that you had to arbitrate?

TS: No, no.

DG: Were you called upon to do anything?

TS: No.

KS: Once we raised the flag, remember?

TS: Well, we did organize the bugle call for raising and lowering the flag, and one of the things that we noticed was that each time the flag was raised or lowered the sentry came erect and standing at attention. After we left Hunt to go to school, on the campus. They raised and lowered the flag every morning and every evening. And I had gotten so used to stopping and standing at attention I automatically did so. But I noticed that nobody paid any attention on the Utah University campus, so I quit doing that. [Laughs] So it just goes to show you what your immediate area of attention does to your activities and your attitudes.
