Comments
She also worked for the Army Air United States Army Air Corps (USAAC), which was a warfare service component of Army from 1926 to 1942. She was stationed in Middletown, Pennsylvania, and served for approximately seven years. “It was interesting and challenging. I had several jobs. I had a job driving the Berets when they came in. I had a job ordering parts for the airplanes," she said. "We didn’t have computers, so you had to find the telephone stations or hop into the Jeep and go to the warehouse, which was several miles away from the office.” She recalled meeting her first husband at the age of 19. “He and a friend were the managers of a snack bar at a local skating ring. The skating rink isn’t how they have them today. It was absolutely gorgeous," she said. "They had someone playing the organ for them to skate or dance to. My future husband had the concession.”
