From the 1944 Kampus Whiz



I am also attaching a page from the November, 1944 issue of Kampus Whiz.  This page mentions that Tack Grant had been wounded near Borneo.  Tack was nose gunner on a bomber.  At the time he was wounded, he had not yet met Niecy.  I think he met her when he was in Foster General Hospital in Jackson, MS.

George: Charlotte can you help us out on how your parents met.

From Charlotte:
Mama and her sister, Dorthy, were attending business school in Jackson. They traveled by bus from Jackson to visit their home in Houston. Daddy was still recuperating from his injuries at the hospital in Jackson. He and a buddy were traveling to Plantersville for a visit. They flipped a coin over who would sit with Mama or Dorthy, and he ended up with Mama.
