To Linda Allred Cooper - I remember Howard Hoppus and remember him being in the Marines. On the afternoon, Sunday, December 7, 1941 I and my parents were spending a lazy afternoon around our house. My sister was in nursing training in So. Bend, In. at that time and I believe Howard had been in her class at school. We had the radio on and the news came over in the early afternoon hours, I do not remember the correct time. As I recall it was a sunny day in Warsaw. As everyone had been listening to their radio's and reading the newspapers it was not too much of a suprise. I was a junior in high school at that time so I was not too concerned as our family consisted of myself, my sister and parents, no boys in our household. Later, my sister joined the Army Nurse's Corps and I joined the WAVES as we felt it our duty to do so. I was very disappointed yesterday that only a few mention's of December 7, 1941 were made on the radio and TV and in our local newspaper. We should NEVER forget what happened in WW 11 and should educate anyone and everyone of the events that took place during the next 5 years, ending on Sept. 2, 1945. Thanks Linda for your comments of yesterday. Sally M. Nichols 204 Ra Mar Ave. Warsaw, IN 46580 email [email protected]
