Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 6: November, 1948 Steve lived in a little one - horse place called Molloy County and he gave me the address. Look me up some day, will you, Marks? He said sadly. I promised I would. I can safely say that Steve didn't have too many friends when he left the Marines. The rest of the men couldn't understand him. He came in the service that way and he left the same way. Well, you know the way it is when a guy becomes a civilian. There are certain things to look after, such as getting a job. So in the next few months I lost sight of Steve. My uncle offered me a job helping him in his contracting work. He was interested in building houses for veterans and was looking for a likely spot to buy land. That's when I thought of Steve. I remembered that Steve once told me that Molloy County was a natural for this purpose. So when my uncle offered me a big bonus if I secured the land I immediately wired Steve. In a few hours I received his reply to come on down. I took the next train for Molloy County and wondered how it would feel to see Steve again. I knew he was married now. Would he be changed much? Or was he still the same shy, bashful dreamer he had always been? I must have dozed off, for when I awoke the conductor was shouting, Molloy County!
