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.

Pre-School Nursery at NISTC Closing in DeKalb in 1945
From the May 13, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"E.A. Anderson, business manager at Northern Illinois State Teachers College, announced this morning that the pre-school nursery operated by the Federal Works Agency, under the sponsorship of the college, will close on June 30, 1945.
"The nursery is located at the new science building at the college. The nursery was started to accommodate pre-school children of mothers who are working, especially those engaged in occupations in war plants."
