About this ebook
Howard (Howdy) Holschuh served thirty years in the US Navy, retiring in 1972 with the rank of captain after having duty in Trinidad, Hawaii, South Vietnam, Germany and, of course, several tours in the Pentagon. This tale outlines the beginning of that career, describing how Howdy joined the Navy College Reserve Officer Program (V-12) and served as an ensign aboard the amphibious attack transport USS Mendocino in the Pacific during WW2. But first Howdy met an attractive coed named Helen Stafford on their first day as freshmen at Westminster College in September 1941. They began a romance which Howdy tried to keep alive via the US mail while they were separated during those long war years. In 1946, when they married, the world seemed to be at peace, and Howdy began a second career as radio news writer in San Francisco. This book is not only a personal history of part of the war in the Pacific, it is also the romance of two young people whose enduring love for each other lead eventually to sixty-five years of marriage. --- Capt. Holschuh has published two autobiographies, one covering his thirty-year career in the U.S. Navy is entitled I Briefed a Thousand Stars, the other reporting on their retirement years together is entitled Loved Every Minute of It. Both are available from amazon.com.
