My Father told me the following. However, his memory wasn't strong and the timeline doesn't match up entirely. To be fair, my notes weren't detailed:

"LaVon had to work for the W.P.A.(Work Progress Association) as a Logger or a Firefighter. At age 17 or 18 he went to join the Navy. They said he didn't weigh enough and sent him back to eat "bananas and cream". He went back later and was accepted. Married 10 years later"
