Coming home from Korea was quite an experience.
My wife was pregnant when I left and she
hadn’t been away from home that much prior
to that so I’m going to be away for at least ten
or twelve months and made arrangements
that she could go home to her parents and
she would have the child while I was away.
So that was an understanding we made
before I left and it worked out well.
My oldest daughter who is with me was born
while I was in Korea and she was eight months
old when I got home. And so my wife stayed
in Winnipeg until I came home and then
I got leave and I joined her in Selkirk,
her home. Here I am coming home a
conquering hero from the Korean War and
not a soul out there to meet me but an
eight month old baby daughter waiting at
home for me so that was quite a homecoming.
