Episode 307 - Charity Adams Earley and the Legacy of the 6888

Another fun episode filled with learning and family banter.  Today we examine the life of Charity Adams Earley.  One of four children, she was raised by parents who loved her and insisted on education, so much so that when school started, she was jumped to the second grade.  She eventually graduated college at 19 with a triple major and a minor in history.  We dig deep into this lady who became famous as the leader of the 6888 Central Postal Batallion that cleared three warehouses full of backlogged mail getting letters to troops who desperately needed a connection to home during World War II.  She was a girl power rock star far before the terms even existed.  So join us in this wholesome bit of American History!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.
