From the Wilmington (NC) Star-News.
In a year in review column, the Back Then column looked back over items culled from 1942 newspapers. I have written about many of these during the course of the year.
Pearl Harbor Spurs Spate of Local Stories
Life During Wartime Tops Headlines
Sentries Man City Roofs
World War II Takes Air Out of Tire Production
Expansion Plans Made For Shipyard Boulevard

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
