Following is something that you might be interested in: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It is really interesting, about a young woman (no longer living), Mary Babnik Brown of Pueblo, who donated her long blonde hair to the government during World War II to be used for crosshairs in Norden bomb sights, Her hair, her pride and joy, was below her knees. It had to be at least 22 inches long to be used. So, she volunteered to cut her hair off and donate it to aid the war effort; she was paid with War Bonds. It was quite a story, nation-wide, and in 1987, President Reagan and Nancy sent her a letter on her 80th birthday expressing thanks for her patriotic effort ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For more information contact my mother who is the editor of the Pueblo County [Colorado] Historical Society publication called THE LORE. arlaa@rmi.net Arla Aschermann Have a good day------ _____________________________________________________ Dr. Jerry R.
