Mary McPeak Reflects on Decades at the Depot
Mary McPeak recalls starting as a munitions handler in 1942 at Building 50 with supervisors Joe Jacobs and Cecil Poston. She survived a Navy fuze explosion, shifted to General Supply Storage, then led receiving and records in 1949. Now a supply clerk, she travels 64 miles daily from Savannah and plans a future Europe trip. Fifty five colleagues honored Evelyn Coryell at a farewell luncheon after her 1957 start as a statistical clerk and later Mail and Records clerk.
