Have you ever wondered what life was really like on the Homefront during World War II? Or, perhaps you experienced that period of history firsthand and would like to recall with nostalgia those days of your youth. If so, the West Jefferson Hills Historical Society (WJHHS) is pleased to offer society and community members Andrea Maue's free program "World War II: On the Homefront." This informative program will be held at 7:00 PM on April 22, in the Council Chambers of the Jefferson Hills Borough Building.
Expert and collector of World War II Homefront memorabilia, Maue inherited an amazing collection of this period's artifacts from her parents, Kay and Larry Shedwick, who were former science teachers. Artifacts from the collection include Remember Pearl Harbor, Victory, Sweetheart Jewelry, and many other items which were circulated to keep the Homefront focused on the war effort.
Eminently qualified to speak on this topic, Maue holds a BA in English from Seton Hill University, has a MS in Education from Duquesne University, and is currently working on another master’s in American history and government from Ashland University in Ohio. A writer, teacher, and volunteer, Maue will not only honor her late parents’ dedication to this crucial time in American history with her presentation, but her program also promises to enlighten and entertain those curious about daily life in America during World War II.
