News from our Boys : Enlightening stories from Henderson's WWII soldiers

The Genealogy Department has recently indexed and made available to the public a series of World War II scrapbooks compiled by Robert Stuart. The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings from the Henderson Gleaner and Journal from approximately 1942 to 1946. Included in the scrapbooks are such items as: letters from the soldiers to their families in Henderson, news reports from the war about Henderson soldiers, death notices, and missing-in-action notices. While the contents of the scrapbooks are not online, you can browse the list of soldiers mentioned in the scrapbooks, and view the scrapbooks at the library.

Of particular interest to some people may be the letters written home to family members by the soldiers. A local woman found a letter from her father written to her mother telling her how proud he was of his new daughter that he had not yet seen. Her baby picture had been sent overseas and all of the soldiers shared in the joy of the birth of the new child. The woman did not know that the letter existed and was warmed to read about her father's emotions after her birth.

Maybe there's a letter from someone in your family!

FREE Tai Chi classes at the library this fall


Beginning in September, the Library will be offering free tai chi classes to the public. What is tai chi? It is a noncompetitive, self-paced system of gentle physical exercise. The health benefits of tai chi are numerous and include
  • Improved posture
  • Flexibility
  • Balance
  • Lower body strength
  • Coordination
  • Physical endurance
  • Breath control
  • Stress management

Because of its gentle health enhancing properties, tai chi can be practiced throughout one's life. Although tai chi is generally safe, consider talking with your doctor before starting a new program. This is particularly true if you have any problems with your joints, spine or heart.

The instructor for the classes is Diana Hopgood, a certified strength and conditioning specialist. (See article in The Gleaner.)

The classes will be held at the library on Wednesdays at 2:00 pm and Saturdays at 10:00 am during the months of September and October. Pre-registration is NOT required. Come as you are!

Websites about tai chi and its healthy benefits:
Mayo Clinic: complementary and alternative medicine
Everyday tai chi
