Show W RR MW I RI 2001 BBL: Okay. o you land d in New Y rk and y u ~ r n ab ut mn - month cruise, tour, and so what happened when you got toN w Y rk? WAR: Well, they turned around and- BBL: Let me interrupt you now that I said that. You said thi guy on y ur ship had contracted polio. Did they do anything with you guys in tenns of n1edical treatn1ent? WAR: BBL: WAR: They didn't know anything about it then, we were just quarantined. On your ship? Yeah.

And we ended up going through the canal again working out of San Diego. San Diego became our home base, if you will. BBL: Now, were you still on the same ship? WAR: Yeah. Same ship. And I, we did that for several months. We went out to San Clemente Island-! think that's the name of it-out of San Diego there and we would practice shooting our guns at targets on the island and then practicing shooting 43 |
