How Long is an Appointment?

Appointments usually last an hour. But please free up time for Mickey to set up lights and cameras, hold the interview, and take some still photographers for in the project.

Yes is the simple answer to the question. Each appointment is set up as an individual session. Group sessions have been set up when I visited a senior living facility or many of the California Veterans Homes.

US Army PFC World War 2 Born on October 13th, 1927, PFC Paul Clement III was drafted into the US Army and served as a Medical Technician. Paul honorably served from October 1945 to May 1947. Before entering the service, Paul studied pre-med at Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey. Paul was looking at a draft notice coming soon as a replacement soldier, so he volunteered for immediate induction to receive selections into the medical field. In the service, he worked as a Medical Technician at the Army dispensary at Ft. Dix in New Jersey. With his medical training, Paul was immediately posted at the dispensary, attending to service members bandaging a wound, giving shots, and simple medical treatments. He hoped to be more than 18 miles from his childhood home, so Paul re-enlisted for one year to be reclassified as a regular soldier. Paul was shipped off to Ft. Knox, Kentucky, for basic training, followed by field artillery training. Paul was assigned to an artillery unit for service with the occupational forces in Tokyo, Japan. After arriving in Tokyo, Paul was reassigned to the medical field again with his background. In Tokyo, Paul was assigned to a sick call clinic with the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers, aka Head Quarters for General MacArthur, for all of the occupational forces in Japan. Here, Paul and the rest of the medical staff saw to the day-to-day health and comfort of the unit's soldiers. His assignment was for one year overseas, but he served about 9 months after all the training and travel. After his one year of enlistment, Paul was returned to the US and was honorably discharged. He returned to Princeton and transferred after completing his third year to UCLA to return to school, where he graduated as an English Major. He worked in the publishing field in New York for several years and then entered the hotel management business in New York and Los Angeles.
