NOVEMBER 14, 2016 "Tots in Transit: 1943." September 1943. "Washington Court House, Ohio. Mothers with their babies waiting at the Greyhound bus depot." Esther Bubley, OWI.
With gas rationing and no new cars, buses were a way to get around during the war. Two young women with a baby each waiting in seats. You have to wonder where they're going? perhaps to see their husbands home on leave from the military?

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.
