bk3-Grandmas stories
My grandmother lived in Abilene TX and was working as a switchboard operator when Pearl Harbor was bombed. She made $26/month, which she says was good money for those days. She lived ten miles from the army base and on Dec 7, 1941 the switchboard lit up, red lights everywhere (red lights were pay phones). Then came the buses full of soldier passing by where she worked.
The only other story she told me from that time was that once She and Marge got a ride how from a stranger, back when they were living in Kansas and that was a big deal I guess.
