wonderful donation. This book is
a valuable resource for those
interested in the history of Hocklev

"I wanted to find a place where
this book would be appreciated and
vet be available to the people who
had loved imes who served in the
Armed Forces during World War
II.* said Mrs Nc*b|ett. The book
was originally owned by her uncle,
Harie> Fmmet Anderson, a WW II
veteran who died in 1053. and
passed on to Mrs. \oblett.
Not king ago. she rediscovered
it in a bottom drawer containing a
variety of memorabilia. "I felt die
whole family would agree to giving
the book to the people of Hockley
County, so that other loved ones
could peruse it." she said.
James found the book to be
informative "I have lived in
Levelland for 21 years, and there
are a surprising number of people
I know who served during World
W ar II and are listed in the book."
said James ”A couple of people in
the book were close friends,
including John Goodpasture, who
died last year. It was also
surprising to see that as many as
five'people from one family signed
up to serve during the war,” he
noted. “It's a part of our history
that we need to hold onto."
