A book and article on Elizabeth Richardson, a graduate of Milwaukee-Downer College who served in World War II and died in a plane crash in France in 1945, are both out this month. The book on Liz by James Madison, "Slinging doughnuts for the boys: an American woman in World War II," will be available to view at the library in the next few weeks. An article by James in the Autumn issue of the Wisconsin Magazine of History on Liz is titled, "Hey Milwaukee: A Wisconsin Girl Goes to War, 1944-1945." Materials from the Lawrence Archives were used for both publications.
