Army Guy, Red Cross Gal: The Lives & Letters of Two Small Town Hoosiers Who Helped Win WWII

Army Guy, Red Cross Gal: The Lives & Letters of Two Small Town Hoosiers Who Helped Win WWII with Barbara Olenyik Morrow
During World War II, Auburn, IN, attorney Bill Husselman served as a military police lieutenant with U.S. General George S. Patton's 3rd Army as it marched across northwest Europe. Auburn music teacher Mary Brandon served as an American Red Cross club worker in Italy as Allied troops slogged up the peninsula. Never did Bill’s and Mary’s paths cross overseas, never did their duties - wildly different - overlap.
But their similar backgrounds (they were friends before the war) and their distinct voices and perspectives (as gleaned from wartime letters) form the heart of Morrow’s latest book. Her lecture will highlight why these war-era stories merit our attention.
