Transcription
It was quite a little let down to me when they told me I had TB and it was the hospital ship I was sent home with and I wasn’t with my friends, you know, with the bunch I was with and the same on the railroad, instead of with a bunch of people you were just with a few who were more or less alone you might say going across Canada. We thought we’d never get home. Ya it was kind of, it was a let down ya. TB in those days anyhow, you know, was contagious they thought and like the doctor said, “You’re not gonna die!”
