LB was personally driven via Jeep by his "army buddies" to the discharge center and he then flew directly into Chicago's Midway Airport on a Capitol airlines Rolls-Royce propjet. 1955 LB was transfered to Ft Monmouth, New Jersey (Red Bank) as radio technician; thrown out because of illegal FM radio broadcasting from his barracks to the building blocks in an adjacent quadrangle; transferred to Ft Belvoir, Virginia and where he commenced a very rewarding experience and challenge called Operation BAFOXE (basin) (DewLine radar installations above the arctic circle in the Baffin Islands). He travelled aboard this LSD 6 USS Lindenwald, stopped in and later passed by Nova Scotia and sailed northward on the atlantic ocean- as the icebergs headed southward. This Landing Ship Drydock was rescued from a 2' ice pack, proceeded on through additonal southbound ice floes and eventually put down the anchor in Repulse Bay. ((Called an LSD because the rear could be lowered below the water line to offload smaller boats. These craft were used to ferry supplies, people and food between the mother ship and shore.))--Photograph of L.B. on Foxe Peninsula--(voiced descriptions w/o images) 1954 Entered AUS via Ft Leonardwood, Missouri 1953 RCMP extradited LB to Illinois for induction into the AUS 1952 Cont. w/CBC TransCanada Network via CBW, Winnipeg 1951 Outside Broadcast Trainee for the CBC TransCanada Network via CBW, Winnipeg 1950 WJBC, Bloomington, Illinois radio play (written, acted & produced by LB ) Thalia Tarrant's U-High Senior History Class broadcast of "This Heritage of Freedom," was aired the summer of 1950 over WJBC, Bloomington, Illinois USA. The University High School students included Narrator Jessica Means, Sound effects from Lou Ann Unzinger, Zelvin Mitchell, Charles Kolar, Mike Mihalski(sp), Art Stoddard and Norm Foster. Some technical notes: Leroy Brush checked out from UHIGHs AV Department a (now classic) Brush Soundmirror BK-401 Recorder and/or Player from which this recording was encoded onto Scotch paper-backed tape (today a historic reel-to-reel media). The 3M Co. introduces Scotch No. 100, a black oxide paper tape. Compared to the iron oxide coating on mylar backed tape, it was not up to the High-Fidelity industry standards then evolving in the 1950s. http://reel2reeltexas.com/vinBrush401.jpg There is no family relationship here; however, since I was and am a sound researcher, this was an historic connection I've always appreciated. The recording is hearable here "broadcasts" from Cantigny (an orphanage cottage): "sound effects quiz show" were wired to a roof speaker from the 2nd floor bathroom "studio"
