Mom's Life-- Part 6

AUTO DEALERSHIP

Daddy and other family members owned Wayne Tire Company on Center Street in downtown Goldsboro. In 1939, he became a Studebaker automobile dealer and set up a business on John Street. Later, he moved the business to North Wiliam Street.


WORLD WAR II

World War II began on Sunday, December 7, 1941. Mother, Daddy and I were getting ready to put up Christmas decorations when we heard. We were in the Music Room when we heard President Franklin Roosevelt speak over the radio that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and that the Unitedtates was at war!

I remember ration books, buying stamps and war bonds and having scrap drives.


A Lot of Experiences.
