In this interview, Raymond shares his earliest recollections of World War II, the importance of
radio in receiving wartime news, moving to California after the start of the war, going to school
in the 1940s, the small day-to-day impacts of the war, and the enormous effect its precipitating
the Korean War would have on him later in life.
