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.

Halloween Prank in 1958
Okay, not WW II, but an interesting story anyway.
From the October 3, 2018, MidWeek "Looking Back."
A photograph of a Halloween prank at Northern Illinois.
Caption: "Halloween prank in 1958. A fully assembled car sits on the structure that will become the Neptune building on the Northern Illinois University campus in De Kalb.
The photo was taken by Perry and Edythe Larson from their home on Carroll Avenue where the Holmes Student Center now stands.
