From the Feb. 24, 2016, MidWeek (DeKalb, Illinois) Looking Back.
From 1941, 75 years ago. The United States was not yet in World War II, but moving toward it back in February, 75 years ago. This from the MidWeek: "One of the outstanding entertainments of the entire year is being planned for DeKalb residents on March 24 when Leland Stowe, veteran correspondent for the Chicago Daily News, makes his initial appearance at the Teachers College auditorium."
The Teachers College would be Northern Illinois University today and the auditorium would be in Altgeld Hall.
I looked up Leand Stowe and he was quite an interesting war correspondent.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
