Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource fifty-five. I suddenly realized that there wasn't anything to keep me in Britain anymore and it wasn't really where I wanted to be. The early eighties was when the trade unions were running everything, it seemed. And there would be strikes over an extra five minutes on the tea break or really stupid things, it seemed to me. And I didn't want my children growing up with that sort of work ethic. So I started making inquiries about coming over here. Eventually, six years later. It isn't easy to come here as a legal immigrant. I was very tempted to come as an illegal, but I didn't want my kids to get off on the wrong foot. So, we waited and waited and all the paperwork that you have to go through. But eventually, two of my friends in this country engaged the services of an immigration lawyer. And among us, we managed to pull it off. Interviewer: And your sons have children? Do you have grandkids? Mainland: One of them has two children, a boy and a girl. Interviewer: How old is the boy? Mainland: The boy will be five on the fifteenth of October and the little girl was one on the twenty-ninth of September. They're up in Boulder, Colorado. Interviewer: Do you speak with your children about your memories of the war and told them about these stories? Mainland: Oh, yes. I wrote it all up actually and they both read it. We don't talk about the war a great deal. Interviewer: What about [inaudible]? Mainland: [inaudible] Now my older son, the one in Boulder, is a world history teacher and he's very interested in just all aspects. We haven't actually sat down and talked about the war as such, but various little things that have come up, he's interested in. Interviewer: What is your impression of military service these days? Would you encourage people to serve in the military or do you have an opinion in that regard? Mainland: [sighs] I don't really think I would ever encourage anybody close to me to serve in the military just because of the danger. I think it's great the benefits you get from it. You know, your college education if you need it, that sort of thing. But the danger is too much. Especially now, when the weapons get more and more sophisticated. It's horrifying. Interviewer: Okay. That's all I have, but is there anything you'd like to state or any story that I failed to ask you about [inaudible]? Mainland: Can't think of anything. I think we've covered it all. I don't think there's anything else, thank you. Interviewer: Great. Well, thank you very much. Mainland: You're very welcome. Interviewer: I appreciate it.
