He bounced around military bases before serving in the Pacific Theater where he was a battle surgeon at Guadalcanal and Saipan. At Leyte Gulf in the Philippines he was on ships attacked by Zeroes and kamikazes.
he was in North Luzon when he was ordered home. He decided he didn't like the Chicago area so he took his footlocker, $300 and drove west on Route 66. He looked at a gynecology practice in Beverly Hills but decided he didn't like it.
He got back on 66 and drove east, stopping at San Bernardo and Fontana. He bought a place on Merrill Street, one block off Sierra and in 1953 built a home in Fontana where he lived with his wife Honey and children. Honey died in 1999 at age 86, and Max Goldstein still lives in the house.
He boasts that he once shot a hole-in-one on the 7th at Pebble Beach.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
