"D. J. Nobles was in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in Radar school when he heard that peace was declared in World War II. He immediately thanked the Lord! He spent a good bit of the war in Washington and did not get overseas. He volunteered for the Air Force, but had a depth perception problem. He was told having his tonsils out might help, so he paid $85 dollars for that operation...with no help. Then, when he got back to Tifton a doctor gave him some eye exercises and charged him only $5 to give him help!"
