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.

Lack of Waitresses Causes Sycamore Restaurant To Close On Sundays
From the October 27, 2017, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"War is striking hard at the restaurants in Sycamore as well as other cities and waitresses are difficult to find.
"Because of this, the State Street Cafe near California, has announced that it will be closed on Sunday for the duration."
Many of the women who used to work as waitresses are now working in defense industries.
