Show FLOYD H. HOGAN 21 PT B R 2002 FHH: It was great. We got as far as Beaumont Texas and we spent two or thre day there, and it was a great liberty town. But the day before we were to leave to go to New York, the war started in Europe. Nineteen thirty-nine. And we got orders to return immediately, to return at full speed to San Diego, California. So we returned home nonstop from Beaumont, Texas, to San Diego. Of course, it was shortly after that that my time was up. The gunnery officer and Lieutenant _[unclear]_, -I remember him so well-he called me in and said, "It's time for you to ship up and ship over, Hogan." And I said, "No, thank you." And he tried to talk me into it. He said, "Hey, you've got a future here. In no time at all you'll be a second class fire control man." I said, "Thank you. I've had the Navy. I haven't any regrets about it." I loved the Navy. All the rest of the people I lived with just cracked their head off about the Navy. When I left they were all still in the Navy. They signed up, but I came home. Boom. BJB: So what happens next from there? The war starts in Europe. How did that affect ... FHH: There was no difference in the United States, particularly in the early days in '39. BJB: So you didn't think we were going to be involved as a nation? FHH: Oh, I don't know whether I thought about it, but we didn't do much about it. As soon as I came home, the first day I was home I said I've got to have a job. And I went to my neighbor and got a job topping beets. I hadn't done that kind of work and I was out of shape. One day of that pretty near killed me. BJB: I've only heard about it. FHH: The sugar beets were that big and you put them on your knee to chop the tops off. So the next day I went to town looking for a job and I got a job with Crane Company. 19 |
