Title	Oral history interview with Ronald M. Williams recorded 2009 Oct. 13
Description	Interview conducted by Gregg Cerosky. Ronald M. Williams enlisted in the U.S. Air Force after dropping out of high school on his 17th birthday. He went to Sampson Air Force Base for basic training, which consisted of mainly classroom learning. He was then sent to Denver at Lowry AFB for gunnery school, which took place in air on B-29’s. Williams was transferred to Randolph AFB for combat training in preparation for the Korean War. Although his unit was fully prepared to be sent to Korea, the commanding officer became ill, and instead the entire unit was transferred to Strategic Air Command in California. While on base he became the mail clerk and then later the payroll clerk. After his discharge, he was offered a spot at Officer Candidate School, but declined in order to work at Johnson Controls. He worked there for 39 years until his retirement in 1995.
