Notes |
- Notes of Pat Rafferty: Since he had been in the army for so many years, he had no experience or training for other work. After failure of various attempts to get himself established, the Blinks got him a little house in Melbourne, Iowa, and a job as a section hand, working along the railroad tracks cutting weed, maintenance, etc. A tough old French soldier, George never seemed to be able to adjust to civilian life, and on one occasion became involved in a brawl and lost the sight of one eye.
