Rena Buhr was just three years old when her father, Willman King, suffered a massive heart attack "and was told he'd never work another day in his life," she recalled recently, adding that the trauma of that experience affected her father's health irreparably in the years that followed.
Though he survived for another 17 years, dying in December 1980, Buhr believes that, at least in part, it was the hardships he suffered as a soldier and prisoner-of-war during World War II that shortened his life. Because he died when she was just 20 years old, however, Buhr really didn't know a lot about his experiences as a POW, as she'd never thought to ask about them when she was a teenager.
