Title	[Letter from Corrine Fagg to Ned Harrison]
Date	1995-08-23
Creator (individual)	Fagg, Corrine
Subject headings	Greensboro (N.C.) -- History--20th century World War, 1939-1945
Place	Greensboro (N.C.)
Description	This folder contains a handwritten letter from Corrine Fagg to Ned Harrison about her personal experiences during World War II in Greensboro. Specifically, she tells the story of her very emotional reaction to hearing the Cone's Mill fog horn sound in the middle of the day on September 2, 1945, assuming the worst because the horn was only supposed to make noise at shift-changing time. The mill management had released the workers early to celebrate upon hearing of Japan's surrender to the Allied forces. She closes the letter by wishing that the big horn had been kept to warn people of emergencies and other important events.
