Korean Conflict
After I was dismissed from Temple University because of poor grades, I returned to work in our store. Rather than being drafted into the Army, I enlisted in the Air Force in March 1952. After basic training at Sampson Air Force base near Genera, NY, I was transferred to Sewart AFB in Symrna, TN. About eighteen months later another transfer took me to Pepperrell AFB located just outside St. Johns, Newfoundland where I remained until returning to the States in January 1956 where I receive an honorable discharge at Mitchell AFB, NJ. I saw temporary duty (two weeks) at Narsarsuaq AFB in southern Greenland when the Skynights dance band performed for the troops. The AF awarded me the Korean War and good Conduct Medals at the end of my tour of duty.
