Relationship with Soldiers and the Public

The following excerpts were written by Charlene Schrag Epp who is the daughter of Clarence Schrag:

“…my dad was working for Shell Oil Company. Dad’s co-workers at Shell were very military minded so Dad’s peace position and his decision to go into CPS met with great disgust.”
