His family said his recollections of the depression were of hard times for lots of the folks, but with cattle, hogs, chickens, and a garden, they had plenty to eat most of the time.

After serving three years, eight months, he was returned to San Antonio, Texas for discharge. He earned his pilot’s license and worked as a helicopter mechanic for the Civil Service in Ft. Sill and Ft. Rucker, Ala. During this time, his family said he invented a device called a “cording joint, which kept the drive shafts in helicopters from uncoupling during flight.
