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.

Looking Back to 1942: Sewing for the Red Cross in DeKalb

From the January 4, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."

1942, 75 Years Ago.

"Announcement was made today by the DeKalb Chapter of the American Red Cross that it will open a sewing center in DeKalb.  The center is to be located on the second floor of The Chronicle building in quarters previously occupied by the KPA sewing project.

"The chapter invites all women who wish to do sewing or knitting for the Red Cross to go to the center any afternoon that is convenient for them."
