4.23. GOING HOME Ed & Ray Hersman in WWIIThe stench and the tendency to be seasick anyway kept me out practicallythe whole voyage.We came into New York Harbor and all the boats were blowing theirhorns etc. We landed and the Red Cross handed each of us a pint of milk.This was the best milk I ever drank.I was demobilized out of the army partially at Fort Dix and finally atIndiantown, PA. So I finally arrived home in November, 1945. I had spentalmost exactly three years in the army.87
Chapter 5After the Warby Edward Randolph HersmanI stayed with the family from November, 1945 until January, 1946. I thenenrolled in the engineering school at West Virginia University. Ray was inthe hospital at Martinsburg, W.Va., and was not to receive his discharge forseveral months.I had a terrible time buying civilian clothes, which were very scarce atthe time.I started dating the girl, Margaret Brown, to whom I had written whilein the army.I still had trouble with math but my grades were pretty good during myfreshman year since I studied constantly.When Ray was released from the army, Mom and I teamed up with himand we bought a Kaiser automobile. This was about the only car we couldobtain due to the scarcity. Ray entered W.V.U. in engineering during thesummer of 1946.I decided that Peggy and I were getting too serious and we stopped datingfor a while. I had decided I wanted a real active life and marriage was out.I became intensely bored with school during my Sophomore year. I studiedhard but it didn’t take. The regimen and constant grind was too much88
