Three Women Return To Huron With War Zone Tales
Three wives of U S service members shared eyewitness accounts from Pearl Harbor to Alaska. Mrs Mary Vogel described the Pearl Harbor attack and evacuation from naval housing while in Hawaii, Mrs Clemens recalled Hawaii and San Francisco as war unfolded, and Mrs Saunders spoke of Ketchikan Alaska defense preparations and coast guard activity. The women plan to stay in Huron for the war duration and emphasized air raid precautions and three day food stocks.
