Military service: 10/6/1942 Alamogordo NM (unmarried) to 1/9/1946 Portland, OR., (married by 1946) 6/26/1946 Portland OR to 8/30/1949 Klamath Falls, OR 9/23/1942 entered Army. Dates are confusing. On 26 June 1946 he entered the Army in Portland Oregon, his second enlistment. Note that his brother Neil Thompson lived in Oregon ten years earlier. His sister, Claudine Carey lived in Oregon at 414 North Main St, Ashland, Oregon in 1946. He was married by 1946 to Bernice (Mc Cracken) and they had a (step)son, Carl E. Mc Cracken, her son by a previous marriage. Charlie and Bernice lived in Hillsboro, Oregon at address Box 356 in 1946. In Alamogordo, NM on 13 July 1942 he enlisted in the US Engineers as a Rodman. Note: His brother, Neil, was a surveyor. He had at that time a high school education but no years completed in college. Thus it can be said he married Bernice between 1942 and 1946. He was in the hospital 12 Nov 1943 at AAF Station 169 APO 638 for pneumonia and related illnesses. By 22 Aug 1949 he lived near Klamath Fall Oregon and received a physical exam at that time. He was 71 ½ inch tall and weighted 181 pounds. Report does not state his martial status. He was admitted to the Sheridan WY VA Hospital 1-12-1954. He may have been divorced by this time. By 1984 records show that he was divorced. jcnreno@sbcglobal.net
