| Hi,
| My name is Mikael and Iīm a Swedish guy who wantīs to ask anyone on 
| this list how your return to the civil life after the WWII was?
| . Did you feel "older" than your "old" friends (who didnīt serve in 
| the war)?

I don't think so.


|
| . Did you have difficulties to "socialize" civilian work, go to
| movies, dating, and so on?


No, because I got married a few days before I went overseas and I 
came home to a new bride.


|
| . Did your relation to your parents change? How?


A little, but probably more from being married.

|
| . Do you today have "flashbacks" or thinking alot about what you 
were
| going through back then?

Not a lot. More lately since joining a World WAr II mailing list on 
the internet. In 1954 I joined the 3o3rd Bomb Group Association and 
the 8th Air Force Historical Association.


|
| . Have you told your children/grandchildren about what you went
| throug?

Yes , 50 years later.

|
| . How did your neighborhood look at you? Did they see you as a
| hero/bad guy?

A good guy.
|
| Thank you for your time reading this, and hoping to get lots of
| responce from you.

You are very welcome
