So he was largely responsible for things like purchasing, particularly meats-that’s why it was located in Chicago. The Quartermaster Corps are the people who buy and disperse food, blankets, munitions, all that sort of stuff. My parents were both accountants by training, yes.īut your father worked for the Army? What’s the Quartermaster Corps?

So, just to go back to the beginning: If you would just say briefly when you were born and where you grew up. This is an interview with Laurie Keller on September 26th, 2001.
