    This photo was taken during World War I at the Big Four Depot, 14th and Dillon Streets in Anderson Indiana. This group of women were Red Cross workers who would meet the 'Troop Trains" and distribute baked goods and apples.

    They did that during both World Wars, and it was a great showing of patriotism when the country needed it. I don't see that happening today. Thanks for more history, Roger.
