10-21-15: Modern Photography: 1943. July 1943. Glen Echo, Maryland. "Climbing the ladder to the sliding board at Glen Echo swimming pool on a hot day." By Esther Bubles. Although the caption didn't say it, probably for OWI. Even with war on, life at home continued. Kids went swimming.
10-14-155 Family Business: 1943. April 1943. "San Augustine, Texas. Clyde Smith, grocer, with his two daughters." By John Vachon, OWI. You still had to eat. Apparently one of the old grocery stores where items were behind counters. An early form of point and click.

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.
