Polson, Lois

Lois Polson discusses growing up in Farr West and, particularly, her nursing career during World War II at the Thomas Dee Memorial Hospital. She reviews medical practices, rationing and other wartime conditions, as well as memories of seeing POWs at the DDO. She also recalls (apparently) interred Japanese-Americans living in shacks on “Tokyo Road” near Willard Bay. She also discusses resentment toward Japanese-American medical personnel working at the hospital during the war.
