Mr. Romack. I was on this LST in Pearl Harbor.
Mr. Belin. Were you in Japan after the war?
Mr. Romack. Yes, I was there during the time the Treaty was signed. We were in the, I forget the name, we were riding typhoons. We rode out eight of them, and our ship came back without the two side doors. All we had was the big ramp.
Mr. Belin. That must have been quite a voyage back?
Mr. Romack. They were taking water in the port and bailing it over in the back.
Mr. Belin. When you got back to the States, what did you do?
Mr. Romack. Went to St. Louis and bought me an automobile, and just I was a boy. I was the boy about 6 months, I would say.
Mr. Belin. Then what did you do?
Mr. Romack. Then I entered school, East Texas State Teachers College.
Mr. Belin. You went there about a year?
