Profiles Spring-Summer 2014 HFDFW


 

On December 7, 1941 Emily was at home in Preakness, New Jersey. After college, Emily decided that she would join the Navy, and soon thereafter became a “WAVE.”

Emily was stationed at Treasure Island, which was an island in San Francisco bay. She was an instructor and taught sailors anti-aircraft gunnery.

One off Emily’s most memorable wartime memories was standing on the docks with her friends, and watching troopships with soldiers, sailors and Marines coming through the fog, and everyone waving and cheering!

On her discharge from the Navy, Emily’s rank was Specialist 2nd Class.
