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.

Wartime Transportation Problems in Sycamore
From the September 12, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, IL) "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Strain's Food Mart is the latest retail establishment in Sycamore to be hit by the wartime transportation problem.
"Starting next Tuesday that store will restrict its delivery service to one trip a day except Saturday."
Gas rationing, you know.
