Scope and content
In May of 1943, Mrs. Hazel Fuhrman was doing her bit for the war effort by working as a shipfitter's helper. Her 18-year-old son was serving in the U.S. Navy. He was stationed in aviation ordnance school at Norman, Oklahoma. This photograph, and six other pictures of war-worker mothers of active service men, was published in the Tacoma Times on May 8, 1943 for the nation's second wartime Mother's Day. (T. Times, 5/8/43, p. 1, 4 &5) TPL-8036
