Close-up of Shotdown US Army Helicopter

581st Sig. Co. on Hill 1157 (1951)

We used the door on this helicopter for the door on the first radio shack. Later when we had spare time, Price and I dismantled the engine on this chopper just for fun to see how it was made. We didn't have to put it back together so it didn't matter how we did our dismantle job.

Once I had learned to read Korean it was easy to write down the new Korean words as I learned them. Also when I went to the Korean Christian Church I could sing with the best of them because I could read the Korean Hymnal. This convinced many that I knew more Korean than I did. For even though I could sing the song I didn't always know what the words meant.

But that only fueled my appetite for learning new words. It also made it easier to write down new words. In English a vowel such as the letter A can be pronounced in many different ways while in Korean it has only one pronunciation.
