http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54848911

Contains a memoir focusing on Brimhall's elementary school, junior high school, high school, Boy Scout activities, family activities LDS Church activities, and employment opportunities given him prior to his enlistment in the U.S. Navy. Discusses the general attitudes pervading his community and the country during the mid-late 1930s as war was brewing, and those same attitudes after the United States had been drawn into the war following Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Also discusses his military service as a radio operator and aviation technician, never having to enter a theater of combat. Photographs show Brimhall and Ted Esklund, a classmate who was killed in action in Europe, in full military dress.

1 folder (19 p.) + 8 photocopied photographs.
