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.

Mr. Luxton Closes His Cafe One Day for Lack of Help
From the July 11, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"For the first time since his restaurant was remodeled, Ernest Luxton closed up for the day because of lack of help.
"Mr. Luxton posted a sign on the door of the cafe that the place was closed to allow the help a little rest.
