WW II . . . A Navy Nurse Remembers
ISBN: 978-0-9776958-6-7

     Elizabeth's first duty assignment as a Navy Nurse was at Great Lakes Naval Hospital in Waukegan, Illinois. In 1944 she was transferred from the Great Lakes Naval Hospital to the Naval Dispensary at the US Naval Air Station at Glenview, Illinois. There, she says, she began to see what war was all about and what it meant to the eager young men preparing to fly planes that would be taking off from and landing on a ship in unfriendly seas.

Elizabeth Kinzer O'Farrell
is a retired Navy Nurse/Physical Therapist who lives with her husband in Tallahassee, Florida. She is a writer and member of the local chapter of the World War II Historical Society and The Tallahassee Writers Association.

     In 1946, after graduating from a special course in Physical Therapy at the Baruck Center of Physical Medicine in Richmond, Virginia, Elizabeth was transferred for duty as a Physical Therapist at the Corona Naval Hospital in Corona, California, where she says she never worked harder nor enjoyed her work more than she did the eighteen months she worked with the paralytic patients at Corona Naval Hospital.
