From the Feb. 27, 2013, CBS 47 TV by Kathryn Herr.
From Sanger, California.
Roy and Juanita Molder had quite a love story, beginning shortly after Pearl Harbor, where Roy was stationed on the USS Rigel the day of the attack.
he was active in the PHSA and often talked to area school children about it.
They would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this August. They spent their who;e lives together and died just hours apart. Roy died Feb. 23 at age 89. Juanita, 88, died the next day.
He always called her "Bright Eyes," the name he called her on the day they met.
The burial was with full military honors.
Quite a Story. --GreGen
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.
