Grand Island Ordnance Plant Presentation - November 22, 2009

Howard Ulrich will be presenting "The Cornhusker Ordnance Plant, 1950's and 60's" on November 22nd as a follow-up program given last year about the World War II years.  The presentation will be in Wood River, Nebraska.

The reason I bring this up is because I featured the Cornhusker Ordnance Plant and it's construction which began March 1st 1942 in my book "Gibbon's Secrets".  My dad hauled gravel during the construction of the ordnance plant and my mother worked at the Cornhusker Ordnance Plant during 1942 & 1943.

That was a very important part of my growing up period as I was so proud of my parents for the part they played during World War II.
