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.

Help Needed In the Sewing Center in DeKalb in 1943
From the September 12, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Mrs. Clarence Swanbum, chairman of the production department of the DeKalb chapter of the Red Cross, is making an appeal for women to help in some of the work at the sewing center on the second floor of the Chronicle Building.
"Production this year is lagging because of the scarcity of helpers and any women who are able to devote some time to this work will be welcomed."
