| Description: |
Emilie Cook was working at Douglas, Santa Monica, when the war began. This was the first job she had since she married, and probably would not have joined the work force had her husband lived. Following his death, realizing she had to support her two children, she went to business college and then applied at Douglas when she completed her course.
