Aurora Zebert -- Subject: Stories celebrating feminine

strengths of character of extraordinary women we

call "Iron Butterflies".

Iron Butterflies are exceptional women who's lives exemplify at

least one of seven traits: Compassion, Courage, Faith, Friendship,

Loyalty, Patience & Persistence. I would imagine that there must

be a great many Iron Butterflies in an organization like the

National Assoc. of Black Military Women. I am looking for stories

about ordinary women who once were "caterpillars,” have

metamorphosed and now fly in life as an Iron Butterfly. The

purpose of the book is to inspire & motivate women, especially

those in the metamorphose stage. If you know a woman whose

Iron Butterfly story needs to be told and would like to submit a

story to be considered for publication in our book please go to http://www.foreversnowglobes.com/ and review our submission

guidelines. I can be contacted at aurora@foreversnowglobes.com

Susan Glandon on behalf of Annelys Jones

(Troop 662) , Subject: WWII nurses and Ft Huachuca

I'm writing on behalf of my daughter, a cadet Girl Scout. She is

seeking information on nurses who attended basic training at

Fort Huachuca, AZ, during WWII. A requisite for a Women's History

project was to research places named after women. She searched

all the museums (3) on the installation and enlisted the assistance

of one of the installation's historians. They came to the conclusion

nothing on the installation was named after a woman. Currently,

there is new construction on the installation and the potential for

new place names exists. My daughter's goal is to present a list of

female veterans' names to the installation/garrison commander. As

we understand it, the criteria is that the veteran must be deceased

and must have a verifiable association with the installation. We

would appreciate any information or possible leads you may have.

(The names of any female veterans, not just nurses from WWII,

that meet criteria are also welcome.) Contact Susan Glandon at
