Day 5:
I love this little booklet! ...a handy guide for recognizing all the various insignia that enlisted men wore on their uniforms. Fantastic graphics!
My mom's family lived in Corpus Christi during WWII and the Naval Air Base there was very active. I heard lots of stories of parties and social activities, and I'm sure everyone was very conscientious about knowing what any enlisted man's insignia meant.
These are so cool, there is probably some interesting way to use them in a project.
I, too, found a lot of old copies of the Delta Gamma publication Anchora. Gramma very helpfully told me which issue, and what page, to look for info about her:
That was nice of her. Here's her picture..
There she is! I love the fashion for posing for photos back then, very hollywood starlet-ish with the dramatic lighting and gazing pensively off to the side. She was such a social person, always the belle of the ball!
