Following World War II, after a short stint in civilian work, Colonel Quirk was recalled to active duty to work for Gen.
Matthew Ridgway during some of the darkest days of the Korean War. Following the war, Quirk went on to "combat" in the corporate world after being tapped to be the founding publisher of TV Guide.
