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.

Snow Removal Manpower Shortages
From the January 2, 2019, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1944, 75 Years Ago.
"Harley Self, district superintendent of the state highway department, stated today this would be the first January in fourteen years of continuous service he has not had crews out plowing snow.
"The highway official further stated that the manpower shortage had hit his working department rather hard and he is going to be facing a real problem if this district should receive a heavy fall of snow."
