I also learned that master sergeants are a pretty Dowerful bunch. On our Li base near Lyon, France, some of us got together and got the wreckage of an old Piper Cub. We repaired the plane we had men who know how to dope the fabric, how to do the framework, frame-work, and so on. I did the electrical wiring and radio. We took turns learning how to fly the Piper Cub, but it all ended very quickly. A fellow who was trying to taxi it, instead of turning back and forth to see where he was going, tried to look over the front of the engine. But you can't see much over the front. He loosened his seatbelt just as a puff of wind caught the plane and flipped over. He got a skull fracture out of it, and we got an order from the commanding officer: "Cease and desist." That was the end of our flying at the base. Lyon was aiso the place where we got news of the German surrender. surren-der. The fellows picking up supplies picked up a G47 (civilian DC-3) that had taken a direct hit by anti-aircraft. It wasn't terribly damaged, it just had a twist in the fuselage fuse-lage (if you stood behind the tail, things didn't quite line up). When somebody told the pilot of that airplane that the war was over, he slow-rolled it. I've heard people say you can't slow-roll a C-47, but I've seen it done. Then he buzzed the hangers, hang-ers, which were so close together to-gether that camp rules were that if you towed an airplane between them, you had to have a man on each wing to signal the tow man. There was just barely enough room for a C-47 between be-tween the hangers. But this pilot flew his airplane between be-tween the hangers. I knew he wasn't coming in for a landing, land-ing, so I thought he would crash. But the people on the ground said, "No, he flew between be-tween 'em." All the time, he was hollering holler-ing like a wild man.

Because somebody was needed to repair the PA system, sys-tem, and I had my tool kit with me, I got that job. I got to sit up on the top deck, play records, and be the master of ceremonies. There was also aboard a whole group of WAC's and nurses, who were running around the pool in their swim-suits. swim-suits. I had a special pass to sit where I did, and an MP stood at the bottom of the stairs and made sure than no "dogfaces" (ordinary troops) could get up on the top deck. When I arrived home in Salt Lake City, I went to Fort Douglas. We were assigned cots and given blankets, so I just stacked them up so I could look out the window and see where my wife was living with her sister. Again, nobody questions a master sergeant, so I just walked right out the gate. Nobody was home, but the door was unlocked. I just went right in. My religion was never a problem to me in the military, except that I was never in a place where there were a lot of LDS soldiers. So I never attended at-tended any services, Catholic or Protestant. The Catholic chaplain in France had as an assistant a young Catholic boy who would be stuck on duty when the chaplain was holding services. So I'd stand duty for the boy and let him go to services. The chaplain, on hearing this, became a good friend, and he was able to do me some favors. I stayed in the Army Reserve Re-serve from 1945 till 1962, as part of a regular field artillery artil-lery battalion. I was happy to have served in the military. I felt that the country needs a strong reserve. The National Guard plays an important role. I Some veterans may wish, on their own, to tape or digital record their memories of military service.
