Fort Sill memories stir as WAAC veteran visits
Mrs. Robert H. Long, once Private First Class Helen Kansky in the WAAC, visits Fort Sill with her husband and three daughters recalling motor training, KP duties, and chapel Sundays while noting changes at the base since 1943. She plans to reconnect with old Army friends on her southern tour. The report also covers a separate Caribbean search for the fishing boat Snow Boy, which left Kingston, Jamaica, with 40 aboard and is expected to be abandoned today.
