There are some "snippets" I came across in researching this time in history--stuff that's not important or earth-shattering, but just made me smile. Here's a story about Mrs. Frear, wife of the former Territorial Governor, Willam Frear about their attempt to give blood.
Governor Frear, his wife, and their Japanese maid were in line to give blood, on the morning of December 7, 1941. When a nurse told Frear, age 78, and his wife, age 72, that they were beyond the 50-year-old maximum age to give blood, Mrs. Frear refused to accept that. “It out to be very good blood,” she said, “It has lasted us a long time!” Her blood was accepted.
