The long-anticipated WWII book by the Mason Area Historical Society,
A BOOK ABOUT MASON IN WWII -
“BLUE STARS IN EVERY WINDOW"
Carolyn Cooper & Shirley Renwick
This was a common sight in so many communities across the USA during WWII.
It was certainly true in Mason. You will have the opportunity to own a great piece of history in this volume,
full of stories from 300+ veterans and others involved in the war effort.
Members of the society’s Publications Committee have been gathering information on
Mason during World War II — transcribing veteran interviews, collecting stories and
pictures from families, and putting them into a book.
There are so many interesting stories to tell —
chances are you’ll learn something about a relative,
neighbor or friend that is part of “The Greatest Generation.”
Is now available $30.00 each at Kean's, Ware's, Bestseller's and the Maple St. Mall.
Books will also be available at the Mason Museum during regular Museum hours.
