I will go on from the time Ardis picked me up at the train station in Toledo, Ohio. As I mentioned before we were practically strangers and had to start all over again, regardless, that didn’t take too long as we had to make up for lost time, two years super lost, four years total lost. The date when I got home was October 8th 1945 however; I still had to go back to Indian town gap Pennsylvania for my final army physical and discharge papers within 10 days. I took the train out of Hillsdale all the way there and back which took about a week. After visiting all the relatives and friends, Ellen, ( MY SISTER) and her husband wanted us to go deer hunting with them in the middle of November so we stuck around until then , and believe it or not we got our buck in about a half-hour on the first morning, this was five or six miles west of Cadillac Mi. Ardis sat on one side of a tree with a lantern between her legs and a heavy coat on to stay warm, in a few minutes we heard deer coming and a few more minutes Ardis whispers "I see one" actually the buck was looking right at her from the top of a slight hill in front of her, I slowly twisted around the tree and shot, he dropped in his tracks, we dressed him out and pulled him to the camp where the car was. I was the only one in the group that bagged a deer on this hunt. Bob Cowan was Ellen's husband's name at the time, she divorced Bob and married a fellow named Clair Fenton, so much for that, yep!!
