Memoirs of Earl Vincent Winblad[]
- Earl Vincent Winblad (1916-2004) on March 03, 1999: "I went to the shipyards here in California after the war. My dad had me take the test to be an apprentice and I got a score of 55, but needed 65 to pass. They gave me 10 points for being a wounded veteran, all veterans get 5 points and a wounded one gets another 5. I was wounded in France in 1944. I volunteered to join the Army in California before the war. St. Bie in France was where I was wounded. I was hit by shrapnel in the rump. Now they say the best way to protect yourself is to hug a tree when the shrapnel is coming in. I went into a foxhole when an "88" was coming in. I was leaping up to get into the hole and was hit. They should have told us to crawl into the hole. I was the only family member in the war."
- Earl Vincent Winblad (1916-2004) on March 03, 1999: "I went to Cuba [in 1924] to visit my maternal grandparents Jarvis Andrew Lattin and Mary Jane Puckett with my mother, Eva and her sister, Julia Lattin. We went down for their wedding anniversary. I remember that Jarvis was a drinker and when I was playing outside the house his dog would run around the yard and hit the porch swing. The noise of the swing creaking back and forth would wake up Jarvis. He put whiskey in the dog's water so he wouldn't make noise any more. There was a porch that ran all the way around the house. My father told me that there were 4 brothers in Sweden that were siblings of John Edward Winblad. Anton told me that his father was a sea captain and that his room was filled with stamps and coins from all over the world. I asked him how to pronounce our name in Swedish and he said "Vin-leed", which meant wine grass. I asked Otto Perry Winblad to teach me Swedish and he taught me to say "thank you" in Swedish and "skoal". Anton told me that the other siblings of John in Sweden were scholars."
Memories about Earl Winblad[]
