This really brought back the memories. Tough times & tough people. My mother worked in Kaiser shipyards in Richmond,Ca. during WW2. She was an ambulance driver then a guard at the gate. Dad worked for the telephone company & never went in the service as he was too old. I remember the kids all having clothes sewn out of flour sacks like is in these pictures. Lots of men in the service & women doing their jobs. We bought saving stamps [10 cents]at school, when we had $18.75 we got a $25 dollar bond good in 10 years.
