from

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
.
