Reservist mothers child lives with guardians amid Gulf mobilization
Elyria resident Vicki Bernard, mother of eight month old Sarah, discusses placing her child with Bernard's parents Nancy and Harold Horracks as Bernard and the 316th Medical Detachment are mobilized for duty related to the Persian Gulf crisis. She notes the risk of her daughter becoming a ward of the state if she were away long. Bernard, married previously and now separated, has been with the Army Reserve since 1988 and works full time with the military, helping keep the unit operating. She plans a new address in Oberlin and expects to be moved as orders come, while her parents oppose the buildup and wish for peace.
