The census was taken 9 April, 1940 found Gene where he was rooming at the the Coal Co. Club House and he was at home with his family when the census taker came on 1 May, 1940. Notice the difference in the time worked and the amount earned. It's possible he indicated less money earned with his mother's listening in. He was helping to support his family, and he was getting married at the end of the year and was saving money for that.

Duty Assign Code ZE9

[Note: This was the only overseas assignment in his military career where he could take his family with him. We were delayed for over 6 months in joining him because of the Taiwan Strait Crisis, a conflict that took place between the People's Republic of China (PRC or Communist China) and the Republic of China (ROC or Taiwan).

The Communists shelled the islands of Matsu and Quemoy in the Taiwan Strait beginning August 23, 1958 in an attempt to seize them from the Republic of China. This was accompanied by an aggressive propaganda assault on the United States, threats against American naval ships, and a declaration of intent to "liberate" Taiwan.

The Eisenhower Administration responded to Taiwan's request for aid by reinforcing US naval units and ordering US naval vessels to help the Kuomintang Nationalist government of Taiwan protect Quemoy's supply lines. 12 203mm long range artillery guns and other 155mm guns were transferred from US Marines to ROC Army and sent to Quemoy to help turn the tide of the artillery duel there. So Dad arrived on Taiwan and was sent immediately into the conflict in his role as a military adviser to the Nationalist Chinese Marine Corps.

Faced with a stalemate, and having run out of artillery shells on the Communist side, the Communist Chinese government announced decreasing bombardment level on October 6. Despite Soviet support of the People's Republic of China's claims to the islands, the bombardment abated, then virtually ceased after President Eisenhower warned that the United States would not retreat "in the face of armed aggression." The unexpectedly forceful American response surprised Chinese and Soviet leaders.

However, both sides continued to bombard each other with shells containing propaganda leaflets on alternate days of the week. This strange arrangement continued until the normalization of ties between the US and Communist China in 1979.

Wikipedia has interesting information on how the residents of Quemoy have utilized the scrap metal from the intense bombardment by the Communist Chinese "The PRC (Communist China) fired around 450,000 shells at the Quemoy islands in the conflict. The shells have become a recyclable resource for steel for the local economy. Since the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, Quemoy has become famous for its production of cleavers made from PRC bomb shells. A blacksmith in Quemoy generally produces 60 cleavers from one bomb shell and tourists often purchase Kinmen knives as souvenirs together with other local products."

PERDUE, Martha Chaffins, died on November 14, 2020. Martha was born November 1, 1947, to Archie M. Chaffins and Katherine T. Chaffins. Though she is gone, her larger-than-life personality and trademark flamboyant style will not be forgotten. Martha entered heaven cocktail in hand, ready to kick up the party a notch or two. All who loved her know she arrived at the pearly gates perfectly styled in her signature zebra and leopard prints. She and the angels are probably laughing while she watches over us, making fun of our \"plain boring\" clothes, even as she protects us. No one could pull off leopard and zebra print like Martha. Heaven just became a lot more entertaining because Martha brought laughter and fun anywhere she went.

Martha completed both her bachelor\'s and master\'s degrees at Virginia Commonwealth University. Martha started teaching straight out of college and continued teaching until her retirement. Teaching was Martha\'s true calling. She shared her passion for life and learning with the thousands of children she taught over her long career. Her pride was in her school and all of her students, who loved her as she loved them.

Martha had an uncanny ability to find happiness in her daily activities, no matter how mundane. Her larger than life personality and laugh were contagious to everyone she met.

Martha is survived by her sons, Christopher Perdue and Preston Perdue; daughters-in-law, Susan Perdue and Stephanie Perdue; brother, David Chaffins; sister-in-law, Anne Chaffins; and grandchildren, Erik Perdue, Spencer Perdue, Avery Perdue, Archer Perdue and Hayden Perdue. The family would like to extend their heart felt thanks to Bonnie and Ricky Anderson, Cathie Simpson and all the nurses at the Laurels of Bon Air for all their care and compassion.

A private service will be held for Martha at All Saints Episcopal Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson\'s, https://www.michaeljfox.org/donate.
