Margaret Neal impersonation

 

During World War II Searcy Arkansas had a real honor in that our own Margarete Neel was chosen as the Red Cross poster girl.

She was on Red Cross posters everywhere.

During a White County Historical Society special day of honoring Searcy's past history our Anita Hart Fuller was the one who posed as the poster girl on the court square.

Here she is in front of our White County Court House with books, information and an authentic poster from World War II. 

Anita is the tart-tongued commenter on some of my blogs who finishes out the history lesson, sets me straight or sometimes tries to set Nutsy straight.

Anita as Margaret Neal

She's a true historian and a fun person to have around.  I have featured her mother, Corinne Hart on my blog many times.  Her mother lived to be 100 and participated in so many Searcy events throughout her lifetime.   

Anita, thanks for your blogging help and for letting me feature you and your mother!

GODMOTHER,

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THAT SLICK MRS KATE. This "Those in the Know" society is a secret organization and the stated goal is to vanquish your Godson, Nutsy S. Wallenda. She is trying to trick you with her lines, just like that other time when she stepped over the line with Mr Charles and you had to set them straight very fast. She is sneaky and a conniver. She is acting sweet but, in  the long run, she is trying to enlist your services in an extermination program on your Godson. It is the worst of scams.

Nutsy, you seem unusually paranoid today. Ms. Kate

Barb, thanks for reading.

Nutsy, only I can set you straight....is that right?

Don, I love that picture of Anita!  And I like the story she or you told about Ms Neal.  I didn't know she was a teacher.  So how'd she get to be the poster girl?

Anita, now I'm trying to catch up. Activerain just goes haywire sometimes and doubles the comment.  I took one off.  Aren't our daughters smart.  They just go solve problems.  I too think you need to get the old poster to the Legion Hut.  But we also still need to know how she was chosen for the poster honor.

Also, Anita, I'm not sure of the invitation from Ms. Kate.  It very well could be a Nutsy extermination site.  Just because she is posing with that sweet baby does't mean that she's all sweetness and innocence.  She has a trap set for my godson......

Nutsy, you do now see why I called Ms Anita tart-tongued!  She'll string you up if you don't behave!  But she's also capable of taking care of your arch enemy!

Ms Barbara, Nutsy is eating his Boss's CDs again which is contributing to his paranoia.

Kate and Steve and Nutsy, I have become curious about this new site.  Even though I'm afraid to go there, I'm curious.  Ms Kate, you are very clever to thank us for the publicity that we gave you without meaning to.

Barbara,

I think it safe to say that my assistant, your Godson, is waaaay too clever to be taken in by Mrs Kate.

I am so ticked off that I fell into the trap of misspelling the name of our famous Searcian who served in the Red Cross during WWII. Her name must now be burned forever into our memories as Margarete Neel.

Read more about her here.

Here's Ms. Neel with some of the reported 1.4 million posters of her.

Here's a picture from Muncey's book.

Don, I am ashamed that I didn't pick up earlier on the incorrect spelling of Miss Neel's first and last name.  I didn't think it was right but I was too lazy to look it up.  Maybe from NOW ON, we will remember.   Thanks for setting the record straight.

Don and Anita, I went back and corrected the blog and the spelling.  The article telling about her was interesting.  Now we have finished our history lesson.  Evidently she was a single lady all her life.  Thanks for the help!

Godson Nutsy, you'd better be glad they don't notice your awful food suit or you may have a whole nother country trying to eat you! 

Ms Kate.  Please put away the picture of the sweet baby when you are doing nasty nursery rhymes about my godson.  The baby will learn bad habits.  You could get one of those pitchurs that look like Cruela DeVil and use it at the nasty times.

Ms. Barbara, Your godsquirrel has an employer who besides Mr. Steven Smith is also called Boss. I thought you were acquainted with him. Ms. Kate
