Muriel Esther Windham
Muriel Esther Windham was my mother. Born on November 19, 1926, she passed away (as Muriel W. Brown) on September 10, 2005. I’ve been meaning to transcribe the diaries she kept during her teens and early twenties, and it suddenly occurred to me to do it as a blog.
If you’re interested in the Forties, the golden age of radio and film, Bob Hope and his contemporaries, a view of World War II from the home front, or what it was like to be a starstruck young girl growing up in Dallas (Texas) and Southern California in those times, you may enjoy some of these posts.
Thanks for reading!
By the way, I’ve reproduced the entries exactly as she wrote them. It was fun for me to realize that the woman I knew—a real stickler for perfection in spelling, grammar, and punctuation—paid fairly casual attention to such things at 13.

As in most blogs, the posts (diary entries) are in reverse chronological order. I’ll fix that, some day, if I can figure out how.
