War era blood debt and a World War I Medal of Honor case
In a curious wartime repayment tale, World War I medic Fioris Schultens in Grant Michigan received a $20 bill inscribed for a pint of blood donated by Army sergeant Sam Krause in Naples in 1945. A Bayonne New Jersey man later sent the bill back after cashing his paycheck, claiming he was given it by Schultens in error. The report then shifts to a string of other World War II and postwar items including Commando Kelly indicted for child support, Amsterdam protests led by Bernard De Vries, Mandy Rice Davies planning to convert to Judaism, autopsy findings on James Moyers, and Seretse Khama’s knighthood in London.
