| Kathryn (Peggy) Pfening, an Ohio State graduate from Columbus, Ohio, flew over the Himalayas into China at night, with no lights, to become one of fourteen Red Cross recreation workers stationed in the China-Burma-India theater. She spent two years in China. ”… you don't think in terms of hardships…we are glad to be here and we want to do all we can to make the men as happy as they can be.” |
