For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Richard A. Rhem Collection Description An account of the resource Text and sound recordings of the sermons, prayers, services, and articles of Richard Rhem, pastor emeritus of Christ Community Church in Spring Lake, Michigan, where he served for 37 years. Starting in the mid 1980's, Rhem began to question some of the traditional Christian dogma that he had been espousing from the pulpit. That questioning was a first step in a long and interesting spiritual journey, one that he openly shared with his congregation. His journey is important, in part because it is reflective of the questioning, the yearnings, and the gradual revision of beliefs that many persons in this part of the century have experienced and continue to experience. It is important also because of the affirming and inclusive way his questioning was done and his thinking evolved. His sermons and other written and spoken materials together document the steps in his journey as it took a turn in 1985, yet continued to revolve around the framework and liturgies of the Christian calendar.

Johnson, Western Michigan University Length: 41:14 Frank Boring: Well, let’s begin, if you could tell us your full name and where you were born. Cornelia Ooms: My name is Cornelia Lucretia Cook Ooms. That’s a long name! [laughs] Frank Boring: But you’re know as…? Cornelia Ooms: I’m known as Cookie. I have been for many years. Frank Boring: And when were you born? Cornelia Ooms: February 26, 1913. Frank Boring: And you grew up here in Grand Rapids, is that right? Cornelia Ooms: In Grand Rapids, I attended Christian schools. We lived in the Southwest part of Grand Rapids around Grandville Avenue, Hall Street, and so. 1:00 Frank Boring: What was your early schooling like? Cornelia Ooms: I went to Franklin Street Christian School and Grandville Avenue Junior High Christian School and then I went to Grand Rapids Christian High. And then after I graduated from there, I went into nurses’ training, right from school. Frank Boring: What was your interest in nursing? Did you have that from early on? Cornelia Ooms: No, I think, about the last year I was in high school, another girl and I talked about it. She didn’t go into nursing, but I did, we were going to go together, but she flunked out. [laughs] But I went into nursing, and so… I went to Blodgett Hospital. Frank Boring: Ok, all right. And what was your training like? Your schooling for nursing, what was that like? Cornelia Ooms: Well, it was good, Blodgett was known as a good hospital. 2:00 And we went, we had, the first year we were there, we went to junior college for a couple of courses. Otherwise, we had courses right at the hospital there, and learned how to do things, you know. �Frank Boring: Did you have any inkling that there was going to be a war coming up during that period of time? Cornelia Ooms: No. We were surprised when Pearl Harbor came. Frank Boring: Do you remember that day? Cornelia Ooms: Oh, I sure do! Sunday. Frank Boring: Tell us about it. What happened? Cornelia Ooms: Well, we were at another house, we were with some other young people and it came in the radio, and we were real surprised and then the next day, they declared war. Frank Boring: What was your reaction? Cornelia Ooms: Well, we all felt real bad about it. 3:00 We tried to do as much as we could, I was doing public health nursing at the time, I was in public health nursing. So I don’t know, just everybody was surprised, I think. Frank Boring: Did you feel like you wanted to join the military at that time, or did that come later? Cornelia Ooms: Not then. Later we talked about it, we three girls talked about it. And we felt we would like to do it. I think it was a matter of adventure too. [laughs] To get away, get out, you know. Frank Boring: So what is the process of joining the military, as a woman, as a nurse, at that time, what did you have to do? Cornelia Ooms: Well we, you know, I can’t even remember where we went to sign up, I think we went to Detroit to sign up. And we signed up 4:00 to go overseas, which my Dad laughed about, he said, “Yeah, that’ll never happen.” But anyway, two weeks we were sent to Camp Grant in Illinois, and we worked there as a nurse in the hospital, for about two weeks and then we got our notice to go overseas. Frank Boring: During that two weeks, what were you treating, just people that had colds and flues and things or were these actually…? Cornelia Ooms: Well it was just a Army hospital, I don’t remember much about that. Yeah, I don’t. Frank Boring: So, you got the notice then, that you were going to be going overseas… �Cornelia Ooms: And it was, they needed nurses so badly, I had a, some of the girls that went, they needed to go in uniform, they didn’t get their uniform till they got to New York. And I know, my mother and father and my sister and her husband, 5:00 came to Camp Grant to say goodbye to us, to me. And my mother sewed all Sunday, fixing the uniforms to make them fit for the other, my uniform was all right, but the other girls needed a little work done. So she was busy doing that. And we went to Camp Shanks in New York. Frank Boring: Did you have to do any kind of basic training, or did you have any military training? Cornelia Ooms: Well, no, they didn’t have time to do it. So when we were in, after we got to North Africa, we were there for about six weeks, I guess, they sent us to Sidi Bel Bes, Algeria, I don’t know if you, that’s the place where the French Foreign Legion was, in North Africa, and they had a big Army hospital there. And they sent the girls who were 6:00 going to be in charge of wards and some enlisted men, we went to that big hospital for about a month. And we worked there and learned how to do the records and all that stuff. That’s the only training we had for Army nurse. Frank Boring: Let’s go back for just a brief bit to your arrival in North Africa, you’d never been outside of the country, is that right? Cornelia Ooms: No. It was real funny, when we, well at Camp Shanks, they kept giving us more equipment all the time, they’d get us out of bed even during the night to hand out stuff. Anyway, we were lined up in a big shed to go on this ship, and I looked around, the Red Cross was handing out donuts and coffee. 7:00 And there I saw a guy who was our neighbor! And I thought, well that can’t be him, so I looked away, I thought if I look again, I won’t see him, just imagined it. But it was him. He was, we were on the same ship for a month, going overseas. And now he’s here in Sidi Bel Bes with me again. Frank Boring: So what was the arrival in North Africa like? I mean, I’ve been to foreign countries, and I know it’s very different in terms of the smells, in terms of the… Cornelia Ooms: Well, yeah, well, we landed in Oran. And at night, they put us on these big trucks, and we rode for a long time inland, you know, so we didn’t see much of the country then at all. But we were on a hill, they called it Goat Hill, 8:00 it was a big, big, thing, and they had about, oh, I bet five different groups of nurses there. [pause] The officers and the nurses were on one side of the road and enlisted men were on the other side, it was a big encampment there. We slept in tents, big tents, about ten or fifteen girls in a tent. �Frank Boring: Cots? Cornelia Ooms: No, not at first. We slept on the ground, at first, on our sleeping bags, our bedroll, that they called it. Frank Boring: Did you have a rank? Cornelia Ooms: Second lieutenant. Frank Boring: So you went in as a second lieutenant? Cornelia Ooms: Everybody, all the nurses went in as second lieutenants. Yeah. Frank Boring: And what were your first jobs, 9:00 what were the first jobs that you were doing when you arrived in North Africa? Cornelia Ooms: Well, when we were on Goat Hill, we didn’t work at all, we were just waiting, to be assigned. Then we stayed there for a long time. It was really something when we were on Goat Hill, it was so hot, terrible hot and so they made, well, I don’t know if I should tell this or not, but they made showers for everybody. And there were just pipes with holes in them, you know, and they had just canvas stripped around, not over the top, just around the bottom. Well, the enlisted men had a certain time when they could take showers, the officers had a certain time, and the nurses. When the nurses had 10:00 their time to go shower, it was all open, you know, everything was open. All the enlisted men had to come to get water, so they could look down on us. And we even had an airplane flying over us, taking pictures, we heard. And, we didn’t care, we were so hot, we didn’t care, what’s the difference, when there’s fifty, sixty, women are all together, they all look the same anyway, so. But they finally, they changed the time, and they put fellows there, to keep the enlisted men away, so, funny things like that happened. Frank Boring: What was your daily routine like? Cornelia Ooms: At…? Frank Boring: At Goat Hill, the routine was, you were just sitting around and play cards, or, what are you doing? Cornelia Ooms: Well, yeah, I guess, we would have breakfast, we’d wash ourself, you’d have to use a helmet, we used 11:00 the outside of the helmet as a basin of water. They had big tin cans, we’d wash our clothes in them and hang them on the bushes or whatever we could find. Frank Boring: This is a desolate area, I take it? �Cornelia Ooms: Oh, terrible, there’s no trees around at all. No trees at all. Frank Boring: And very, very hot. Cornelia Ooms: And about five o’clock, well, we’d have to walk to go get our food, we had to walk over to the mess, they had the mess, we just ate out of the mess kits, C-ration, some of us just ate at our own place with C-ration. It wasn’t very good. And, but about five o’clock, it was just like Grand Central Station, you’d see all the jeeps coming, all the different people would come pick up nurses. I had a fellow too, he would come take me for a ride all 12:00 around the country and… Yeah, we, and then we just, we would sing a lot together, and we’d talk, and yeah, there was nothing really to do, you just hung around. Frank Boring: Did you have any idea where you were going to be assigned? Cornelia Ooms: No. We didn’t know. We were assigned to Bizerte. We went on a big train, they had a big, long train, and we, you know, it was a French cars, I don’t know if you know they have two seats, two rows of seats and then there’s a row and then there’s a window and there’s outside of the train and with this little compartment. Six girls in one compartment, we were knee to knee, that’s how we sat, and that was sleeping too! And they would stop 13:00 quite often to get coal and water for this huge train, and the people that live around there would know that we were coming, course, and they would be lined up on the track, with eggs and bread, some bread, and stuff. Well we would, my friend and I, we sat by the window. And we’d put our helmet out, and they’d give us some hot water, in the helmet. And the people were sitting right by the window, I mean, we didn’t care. So we’d start to wash, first one would wash their face, and then the other one and then they’d wash their arms and that’s how we took our bath every day out of the helmet with everybody watching us. But we didn’t care, we got, at least, we were clean. 14:00 And we were in overalls, you know, jump suits. Frank Boring: Now, where did you arrive, eventually, where did you end up? At the end of that train trip? Cornelia Ooms: In Bizerte. And then we went to a big field, with big tents again. The hospital wasn’t quite set up yet when we got there. So we had to wait there for, I don’t know, a couple weeks, I guess, or a week, I don’t know. And then we went to our own hospital, that’s how it was set up. Frank Boring: Give us an idea of what this looks like. Cornelia Ooms: Well, it was called the 81st Station Hospital. And it had, there was a road, down the middle. On one side was all the hospital, they were big tents, four in a row, and it �went way down, and it was medical and surgical. 15:00 I was in a surgical tent. And on the other side of the road were the tents where the officers lived. And then they had a big recreation tent in the middle, and then the nurses tents on that other side, we all had bigger tents, we did have cots. [unintelligible] cots. Frank Boring: Now the tents you were sleeping in, these were not pup tents, right, these were…? Cornelia Ooms: Four ladies at a time, four beds. And we had a little stove in the middle, which, they’d burn some oil in it to heat in the winter time. Frank Boring: Are you familiar with the television series M*A*S*H*? Cornelia Ooms: Oh, yeah! Frank Boring: Is the tent sort of like that? Cornelia Ooms: Sort of like that. Yeah. Frank Boring: Ok. So, I think they had three to a tent, on the TV show, but you had four. Cornelia Ooms: We had four to a tent. Frank Boring: Approximately how many people were out there, are we talking thousands of people,16:00 or hundreds of people? Cornelia Ooms: Oh, there were…you mean in our group? Frank Boring: Just in your immediate hospital area. Between the officers and the support people… Cornelia Ooms: Well, yeah, there were about fifty nurses. And a lot of officers, I don’t know how many, but… Frank Boring: So this is a large area… Cornelia Ooms: So a couple hundred at least, two or three hundred people. Frank Boring: Now what was your responsibility, what was your job? Cornelia Ooms: I was the head nurse of this one ward. And we had very sick patients and some that weren’t too sick. Frank Boring: By sick, what kind of sickness are we talking about? These are war wounds? Cornelia Ooms: Just come from surgery, some were wounded, and they had a lot of dressings to do and IVs, it was very, and I, as a public health nurse, 17:00 I never learned how to �give intravenous injection. And I told our commander, the officer, reverend, I mean, Captain Gere, was our doctor in that..our tents and I told him, I said, I’m willing to learn if you want to teach me how to do it. “Aw,” he said, “I’ll just do it. You get everything ready, you know who has to have intravenous fluid, and when I go to surgery, I’ll stop by and stick the needle in.” He said, “Those boys have been through enough! They don’t have to go, they don’t have to have you poking them trying to hit a vein.” So, I never did learn to do intravenous, 18:00 put a needle in the vein, I… At public health, they didn’t want you to, it was too much responsibility, away from a doctor, and you know, in a home. Frank Boring: Why were you made the head nurse? Cornelia Ooms: Well, I don’t know, I had more experience. Some of the nurses there were just out of nurses training. They came right from nurses training into the Army. And I was older, we were older. We had had experience in the nursing field. Frank Boring: So as a head nurse in this particular ward, what was your responsibility? Cornelia Ooms: See that everything was done good, assign the nurses to the tents, the people they had to take care of, the baths that had to be given and see that the ward men did the work that they had to do. And we also did baths. 19:00 I worked all the time too. We didn’t just sit around. Frank Boring: Were you responsible for ordering medicines or was all that taken care of? Cornelia Ooms: The doctor did that. We had to give the medicine. We gave a lot, used a lot of sulfa. Frank Boring: What kind of wounds are we talking about here, what variety of…? Cornelia Ooms: Well they were gunshot wounds in the abdomen and the back, and we had some, a couple fellows that were burned real badly and had a couple of amputations. So that sort of, just general surgery. They had a, they called it hospital row, there were about four hospitals set up. Some took lung cases. 20:00 [pause] Some took lung cases, some had head wounds, others had different things, but we had general surgery. Frank Boring: This could not have been a very pleasant place to work. Cornelia Ooms: No, but the fellows were real nice. They never, when they first would come off the field, in from the airplane, they would be very dirty and we’d get them all cleaned up �and some of them would use bad words once in a while and they would apologize for it. They’d say, “Oh, we haven’t seen women for so long, we forget.” But they were real good fellows. Frank Boring: Um, did you treat just Americans or were there other nationalities? Cornelia Ooms: No, well, we had one fellow die and 21:00 he was from Britain. He was English. Most of us we were Americans, yes. Frank Boring: How long did you stay at that particular ward? Were you there for a year, or? Cornelia Ooms: Yeah. All the while we were in Africa, we were… [unintelligible] When we got to Italy, then I wasn’t, I just worked in the ward, I wasn’t ever responsible for it. Frank Boring: How did you get your news? Did you have newspapers, radio, how did you know what was going on in the war? Cornelia Ooms: Well, they had the Stars and Stripes, that was the newspaper, we would get that. And they had a radio, some of them had radios. Frank Boring: Did you have any idea that we were winning the war or losing the war, did you have any sense of how the war was going? Cornelia Ooms: No, I don’t think so. Course, in Italy, when we got to Italy, then we 22:00 took care of the French Army and different, we had more diverse people, more than Americans. We had Arabs and we had people who worked for the French Army. [pause] Frank Boring: So in Italy, you were not the head nurse. Cornelia Ooms: No, no. Frank Boring: So your responsibilities were just the same as any other nurse. Cornelia Ooms: Yeah. Frank Boring: Dispense medicine. Cornelia Ooms: Give baths. Frank Boring: Give baths, ok. Cornelia Ooms: That’s right. �Frank Boring: Were there any particular incidents that stuck out? I mean, I know this is a daily routine of wounds and people, but were there stories that you remember from that period that…? Cornelia Ooms: Well, one day, there was, he was from 23:00 Morocco, I guess, anyway, he was from the French Army, he wanted something else to eat, we couldn’t figure out what he wanted. So finally, he made a noise like a chicken, then we knew he wanted an egg. And another time, we had a black man we called Yah Yah, he was a huge fellow, and we also had another little guy whose leg had been amputated and the French didn’t do a very good job on people when the operated, so they were, had weights on his leg to pull, so they could fix it better, so he could use the prosthesis, and that was painful for him to have those weights on there but it was necessary. 24:00 But his friend would come along and stick the weights under the mattress to take the, relieve the pulling, you know. Well, one day, I got him all ready, I had him all fixed up, and had it all settled, and then I came back, the weights were under the mattress again, so I fixed it again and I was going this way [motions]. He couldn’t understand me and I couldn’t understand him but I was going this way [motions], shaking my head. And one of his friends came along and started talking to me in Arabic, I guess, I don’t know, anyway, and all of the sudden this little guy, he was raised right off the floor, here was Yah Yah, he had him by the scruff of the neck and just lift him right up and looked him in the eye and he said something 25:00 to him, I don’t know what, but we didn’t see the guy for two days after that, he must’ve scared him really bad, but we always felt we didn’t have to worry as long as we had Yah Yah around. He was, he knew what he was saying to him, probably wasn’t nice. Frank Boring: What was the procedure for a patient coming in and then finally getting discharged? Give us an idea of what the… Cornelia Ooms: Well, when we were in Africa, of course, all the records were in English. In Italy, we had young people working for us on the ward who were Italian, didn’t speak any English. These people came in from the French Army, they didn’t speak English either. 26:00 So, the ward doctor would take the medicine chart, cart, and he cut off all the bandages of this one fellow and rewrite all the orders in English, that was the only way they could do it. And somebody would take tetanus, and give everybody a tetanus shot. Just under the skin, you know, test them if they needed it. And when we had, if they were going to have surgery, they weren’t to have breakfast, they had a certain color card that we laid on their bed, and then these Italians would know that would mean they didn’t get a breakfast. That’s how we had to work. Lot of hand, head shaking and hand shaking and, but it worked, 27:00 it worked. Frank Boring: Would you say that the pace was hectic? �Cornelia Ooms: No, no. It was busy, but not hectic. We never stressed, I don’t think, I never felt that way, anyway. Frank Boring: So, from your knowledge of how all this works, a soldier would get injured in battle, the medics would bring him to— Cornelia Ooms: Our hospital. Frank Boring: Ok, so you were getting them fresh from the battle. Cornelia Ooms: We got those from the French Army, we did, yeah. And they had much different wounds than our fellows did, you could tell they had hand-to-hand combat. They would come, these guys, from, you know, the Arabs, with these knives that were crooked, you know, I mean, the big curled-over, they would go under the mattress, they still had them with them. And their wounds were a lot different, 28:01 all sliced and, they weren’t gunshot wounds like the Americans. Frank Boring: Was it during this period of time that you met a young lieutenant, I believe he was a lieutenant at the time, Dole, is that the same period of time or is that much later? Cornelia Ooms: No, no, that was after I came home. Frank Boring: Oh, ok. Cornelia Ooms: No, I didn’t see him in Africa, no. Frank Boring: So, you were then in Africa and then in Italy and what happened after Italy, where did you go from there? Cornelia Ooms: Well, I, see I injured my back when we got to Italy. Frank Boring: Let’s talk about that. Cornelia Ooms: So I worked for six months. But I was, my body was real crooked, I was trying to save my back, you know. Frank Boring: Well, let’s talk about that incident, what happened, actually? Cornelia Ooms: Well, as I said, when we got from the ship, to our place where we were going to live, we had to get on a big truck, 29:00 it was 6x6. And we had all our heavy clothes on and a tent bag and a helmet on our head. And I was the first one off the truck. And the fellow who, there were no steps, we just had to jump off, and that’s a long ways down. But the fellows would always put their hands up like this [motions] and we could put our hands on theirs and they would spring us, and we wouldn’t hurt. But this little fellow who helped me, didn’t give me any support, so when I landed on my feet, my back twisted. �And I called to the nurses, the other girls and I said, “Be careful when you get off, he doesn’t help you enough.” But then I didn’t think any more of it, but as the time went on, it’d get worse. And one night, I was supposed to have a date, and he didn’t come, which wasn’t unusual, they had 30:00 other assignments, so… But I started to get sciatica, a pain in my leg, it was just terrible. And everybody was out and when they came back in, I was walking around all crumpled up. They gave me pain pills and put me to sleep and in the morning it was still there, so then I went to the hospital. And I was in traction there for maybe a month. And I was sent home on a hospital ship. And I went to Springfield, Missouri, then, we came home and landed in Savannah, and then I was sent to Springfield, Missouri, to the hospital there and had a laminectomy for my back and I was there for a while and then I went to Percy, then I went 31:00 to Fort Custer, I was on assignment, I went back then to Miami for reassignment, and I chose Fort Custer, Percy Jones, because that was near where I lived, you know, and I had a car waiting for me in Grand Rapids and so I went there but I was only there about six months and my back went out again and I had a second operation there. And that’s when I met Dole, I was recuperating from that second operation, and I helped him and I volunteered to feed him. Frank Boring: Now, you were telling me there was two officers there that were in pretty bad shape, tell us about meeting Bob Dole. What kind of shape was he in? 32:00 Cornelia Ooms: Oh, he was so thin! He’s a big, tall guy, you know, and he was real thin, he couldn’t use his one arm and his other arm he couldn’t use to eat with. He was very, very thin. And he wasn’t eating, that’s why they asked us if we would feed him. To feed him while the food was hot. So every, every three times a day, we would go, before we went our own meal, we would go and feed this fellow, these fellows, this other nurse and I. And she fed a fellow who was a paraplegic and I had Dole. So, that way, he did start to get better then. By the time I left, when I was discharged from there, he was still a patient there when I was discharged. Frank Boring: What was he 33:00 like as a patient? Cornelia Ooms: I never saw him, I just went in to feed and would go away again, you know, we didn’t… But he was real nice, we had a lot of nice talks together. Yeah. Had a good sense of humor. Frank Boring: Course, you didn’t know who he was from anybody else at that time, he was just— Cornelia Ooms: Oh no, he was just, he was a lieutenant. Yeah. There were, Senator Inouye was there, at that same time. Frank Boring: Oh, wow. �Cornelia Ooms: And there was another man, I can’t think of his town, but he was from Michigan, he was there, they all became senators! Three of them that were there at the same time. Course they didn’t know it at that time. Frank Boring: When did you first find out that the guy that you were feeding was a— Cornelia Ooms: Well, when I was, lived in California, we lived, I, we moved there, and after I had finished school and my husband finished school, 34:00 we moved out to California. And his picture was on Life Magazine, he was running for senator then. And I wrote to him and told him who I was, and he wrote back to me and invited me to come to Washington, and show me around. But then a year or so later, I got another letter from him, he had been in San Diego, but he hadn’t had time to come to see me or to contact me. So that was when I saw him, and then I saw him, course, later in Grand Rapids, at that political luncheon. Frank Boring: Now, once your back, it was hurt you’re— Cornelia Ooms: When I was, when we were in, when we were going to school 35:00 in Seattle, I was married and I was going to school, getting my degree in public health nursing, then my back went out again, and then I went through the veterans’, I went to the public health hospital, and I had a big operation and I had a spinal fusion. And then they injured the nerve in this leg, [motion to right] my right leg, which was more sensation than movement, I could use it, but it was the sensation. It was so terrible cold, I had, I started getting terrible cramps, and it was so cold, my foot was, my leg was always ice cold. So I went back to this hospital and saw the doctor, and they did a ?????? which, 36:00 they directed more blood through another vein, a vessel, and then I didn’t have any more trouble with it. It’s always been weak, this leg has always been weak, I’ve fallen many times. But never really got hurt real bad. Skinned up a lot. [laughs] Frank Boring: Yeah. How about your discharge from the military, was that a fairly simple thing? Cornelia Ooms: Yes. You are, I was discharged when the Army hospital said you’re able to go work, or be around, you know. So, I was discharge and then I went back to Camp Grant, and got my final discharge there, I was only there a day or two, and I was discharged. Frank Boring: Did you find that your military experience helped you, later in your life? Cornelia Ooms: Oh, yes! 37:00 Made me grow up. Oh yeah. I found out I could do things I never thought I could do. Take responsibility I never thought I could do. I had always lived at home with my parents and very secluded, always the same friends, didn’t have to do anything different. But I found out I could do it. I really grew up. �Frank Boring: Did you have moments of real… I guess the word I looking for is when you think about nurses, there are times when the life of that person is in your hands. Were there close calls that you can recall? Cornelia Ooms: No, I don’t ever think so. Except that one time in Africa when the little boy died, and we all felt really bad about it, but— Frank Boring: What was that, what happened there? What happened to the little boy? Cornelia Ooms: Well he was wounded 38:00 very badly and he died, he couldn’t make it, the doctor tried everything to save him, he couldn’t do it, I don’t know what happened to him [unintelligible] That’s the only casualty we had in our ward. I don’t think we had too many in our whole hospital. Frank Boring: You guys did a good job. [laughs] Cornelia Ooms: I think so. I think we did. Frank Boring: Well, I guess we can wind down the interview now, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you letting us come and talk to you. Cornelia Ooms: Well it’s been fun talking about it again. Frank Boring: Yeah. Cornelia Ooms: Yeah. Frank Boring: Well, make sure to keep in contact, because I’d like you to get a copy of this video. Cornelia Ooms: Ok, thank you. Frank Boring: And we’ll make sure to have that for you. And when Bob Dole comes to town, let’s see what we can do about it. Cornelia Ooms: Oh, I hope, I sure hope I can see him again. Frank Boring: I have one more question. I interviewed a Navy nurse, ok, and not a Navy nurse, excuse me, she was in the Navy. She had actually been offered to be in the 39:00 Army. And she chose the Navy cause she heard that the Army nurses wore khaki underwear. Cornelia Ooms: [laughs] Oh, no, we didn’t! [laughs] No. But we did a lot, we did a lot more actual nursing than the Navy nurse did, that’s what I was told. I talked to a Navy nurse, they get a lot of bookwork. And they told other people what to do. The Army nurse, we �did the actual nursing too, we gave baths and we did all that kind of work. And, but, the Navy nurses probably ate better than we did too. [laughs] One thing, I went with a, he was a lawyer, and he’d come once a week to the hospital and come and pick me up and take me to Bizerte, to his place, 40:00 where they had… And the first time I went, they were all sitting at a big, long table, all men, of course, I was the only woman. And I sat down and I looked, and I said, “Butter!” And they said, “Butter?” I said, “Butter, we don’t get butter.” They said, “You don’t?” I said, “No, we get…” stuff, I don’t know what it was. Anyway, before I knew it, I had all the butter of the table in front of me. And every time I came, everybody would give me butter. They all brought butter to me. [laughs] Now, they, some of those people ate pretty good. Army didn’t eat so good. Oh, we ate all right, but it was a lot of C-rations and K-rations and… Frank Boring: I actually know what those are. I’ve eaten them myself. Cornelia Ooms: [laughs] Yeah. 41:00 Frank Boring: Well, Cookie, thank you so much for this interview, and I guess we can wind it down now and… Cornelia Ooms: Well, thank you for doing it, I never knew it was going to be like this. 41:14 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
