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.

Esther Mae Nesbitt-- Part 3: Photographer and Artist
On October 1, 1942, she enlisted as an aviation cadet in the Women's Army Corps. In her civilian life she had been a postal clerk and photographer.
During her years as a WAC, she served as an artist until shortly before her death. (I am not sure about this as I think the WACs dissolved shortly after the end of the war. Wikipedia said that the WACs dissolved in 1978 so she might have stayed in rthe rest of her life.
She never married.
