Where Are Those GI Janes Since They've Again Become Civilians?

What has happened to those Waterloo girls who looked so smart in Wave, Wac or Spar uniforms, traveled the country and the world and the were discharged from service to return to civilian life?
Well, many of them were married while in the service and have settled in other states or brought their husbands to Waterloo to live. Still others entered new fields of work and have gone on to college through the benefits of education provision of the GI bill of rights.

Wartime marriages also brought new residents to Waterloo. One example of this is Michael Miltenberger, whose home was in Towner, N.D., before he met and married WAC Audrey Jochum, daughter of Mrs. Myrtle Jochum, 110 Hartman avenue. The couple and daughter, Mary Margaret, are now residing at 814 Randolph street.
