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.

Teaching Disabled Soldiers the Manual Arts
From the May 30, 2018, MidWeek ":Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Miss Miner, art teacher at Sycohi (I had to look this one up, it stands fro Sycamore Community High School), has been informed that she will be definitely teaching the soldiers who are disabled at the Great Lakes and Chicago Beach Hospitals.
"Among things she will teach will be handicraft, weaving, drawing and any other manual art they might wish to learn to do. This new job will occupy only the summer months and possible Saturdays of her time as she will continue to teach throughout the school system in Sycamore."
