1944: "This is (D) Deliverance Day in Europe and the Invasion is on. The Allies attack thru Normandy France. Landings are made at Cherbourg and other French ports. Churches are open for prayer all over the U.S. Even the President leads in prayer for victory tonite. R.W. nearly knocks me out today, but after some fresh air I'm OK again. John Law, former Mayor of Madison speaks to Kiwanis on State Trunk Highways. Our table Joe Drasol, Ray Baxandall, Frank Fraker, Dr. Christenson and myself. Dave Collin is in New York." [from A. E.
