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.

WPA Work on Stadium Suspended in Roanoke and Noted Author Speaks
From the March 27, 2017, Roanoke (Va.) Times "Looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
** "Temporary suspension of WPA work on the uncompleted stadium was announced yesterday."
** "William L. Shirer, famous for his best-selling "Berlin Diary," his on-the-scene description of events in Berlin during the first two years of the war over the Columbia Broadcasting System, and his subsequent analysis over CBS, will speak at the Academy of Music this evening at 8:30 o'clock."
