Other Waacs in training at Des Moines include Elva K. Davenport, Gladys R. Yeaman and Alfreda Zinser. Auxiliaries Kathryn M. Bolte and Irma L. Richardson are stationed at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia and Auxiliary Hazel J. Hofstad is stationed with a Waac aircraft warning service company in Richmond, Virginia.
