Joseph Ralston provided the following information:

After his time with the CCC's, my father put himself through SD State Teachers College and taught school until he was drafted into the Army for WWII. He was in the Medics Corps and landed on Omaha Beach on D-day. After the war he came to California and finished his teaching credential at Whittier College. He also completed two Masters Degrees at USC while teaching school and becoming a principal in Anaheim and then Norwalk, CA. He married my mom Elizabeth Ann Carroll in 1948 and they raised five children and 9 grandchildren. My father loved to travel and play some golf, he left us July 17, 2005 just three days short of his ninetieth birthday. He always fondly remembered his days at Ft. Meade, and his upbringing in central South Dakota.
