The cover shows the hospital ship USS HAVEN
anchored at Inchon in 1954. I spent 9/53 - 9/54
on the Haven, almost all at Inchon. The book
contains funny experiences I had while on the
Haven, plus other stories.

Review: SOUR M.A.S.H. is a great comic
collection of true if tall, tales from the life
of "Bud" Stuhldreher (nephew of one of Knute
Rockne's Four Horsemen of Notre Dame).

These wild tales range from Ensign
Stuhldreher's life on the hospital ship USS
Haven during the Korean War to naval escapades
in the Mediterranean, to golfing adventures
abroad and at home -- "Why U.S. Steel Fired Me
Over A Golf Game," to the glory days of Cape
Canaveral's Space Program (with personal
insights about individual heroic astronauts),
even to Stuhldreher's frolics as a performing
magician.

The book opens with a brawl between the army
and navy in Korea and just about closes with
the magician and his golfing audience hurling
hard golf balls back and forth at each other.
In between there is so much to laugh at, you
wonder whether Stuhldreher should have been a
stand-up and knock them down comedian.

Available at Google, Amazon, plus other online
services.
