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.

Housing Shortage Strikes Home in DeKalb in 1943
From the October31, 2018, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1943, 75Years Ago.
"Work has been started on the old C.J.F. Carlson store building on Lewis street, which will be converted into living apartments, it is announced. Guldbeck and Eckstrom purchased the building some time ago, and have been planning the remodeling operations for some weeks, but were delayed.
"With the acute housing shortage that exists in the community at this time, the additional apartments available on Lewis street will help alleviated the condition to some extent."
