Culture Shock
(1)
Kootch and Kathleen eventually joined me in Salina (Home of Ellsworth AFB: Ellsworth was home of the 310th Bomb Wing, which flew B-47s. The base was also home to an air-refueling wing of KC-97s.) The American Red Cross paid for her air fare.
We rented a basement apartment from these folks (this nice lady's husband is not shown here). Later, we moved up to a small house.
After two years in fablous Tokyo Japan I suffered from a serious case of culture shock upon arriving in the sleepy town of Salina, Kansas, middle of nowhere. Kootch's culture shock was even worse than mine. Poor girl. 'This is America!?'
