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.

Another Housing Development Well Under Way in DeKalb in 1943
From the October 31, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1943, 75 Years Ago.
"Rapid progress is being made on the housing project which started recently on the tract of land on Sycamore road between Fourth and Seventh Streets. Sixty single unit homes of brick construction are to be built and the project is developing in a rapid manner.
"Brick work has been completed on two of the homes and is nearing completion on a couple of others. Basements have been dug for 25 and foundations have been poured for ten of the units."
