The Nazis were defeated and the Atom Bomb was dropped. Although more surgery was scheduled, I demanded being discharged from the Army. This way I could leave Auburn General Hospital in the gold country and move back to San Francisco. There I sought admittance to Ft. Miley Veterans Hospital for the rest of my surgery. The first year was difficult for besides going to school, our first home was being built with a G.I. Bill Loan. For a few months I was out of the hospital in order to get a night job so that my income would qualify for the loan. Two weeks after the final discharge from Ft. Miley, our first son, Ron, was born and we moved into the new home.
