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.

A Practice Blackout in Kirkland, Illinois
From the August 15, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"A practice blackout will be staged in Kirkland and vicinity Friday night between 9:30 and 10:00 o'clock.
"One long blast of the whistle will be given for the alert signal and another long blast for all clear."
Just In Case. --GreGen
