4 The shipbuilde: Lette cut shot boowed time Wendell Whitten and Haiet No ton knew it was a matte of time befoe Wendell would answe the call to seve his county. I was 20 and he was 2, she says, ecalling Peal Habo Day. We knew he was woking on bo owed time. You lived day to day until you got you lette that said Geetings fom the pesident of the United States... The Scaboough couple became engaged fou months befoe the attack. He came fom the fam next doo. We dated fom the time I was 2. I picked him out many yeas ago. Thee months afte the bomb ing, they wee maied. Thee was a big ush of ma iages then. That way she could get he $80 of ations and my $20 as well, Wendell Whitten says. Whitten was hied as a welde at the South Potland shipyads as the nation s industial capacity shifted into ovedive. 9 S * 8 '? 3 He got his lette in August 943, Haiet Whitten says. We had been taking a lot of pictues of the baby (-month-old son John). When we went to check the mail it was thee. We knew it was coming. I hated to have him go. Wendell Whitten ecalls that he was excited by the chance. Because of his shipbuilding job, he was allowed a defement. But afte his fist defement, he decided to send up his name. I don t think at that age you woied about anything. I was anx ious to go. I went in as an ai cadet, but then they changed back the eye equiement and I ended up fixing planes. Whitten pepaed to go oveseas thee times, but each time the odes changed. He was just one of the lucky ones that didn t have to go ove. But some of ou fiends ween t so lucky and they went ove and got hut and some didn t come back, Haiet Whitten says. She says the Depession 0 yeas ealie pepaed people fo the hadships that followed the Peal Habo bombing. She smiles as some watime taditions ae esu ected 50 yeas late. The thing that stands out ight now is we used to save all ou tin cans, all ou glass and ou newspa pes. We e doing exactly the same thing now. - Dqvid Hench Staff photo by Da\id MacDo Wendell and Haiet Whitten of Scaboough, holding ation coupon books fom Wold Wa II, wee maied thee months aftei the attack on Peal Habo.
