(Marge identified herself in this picture while browsing the Canteen site. Marge still lives in North Platte.)
Bill Savage (right) of Huntsville, Alabama also identified himself as he browsed the Canteen site. As a teenager, he sold the North Platte Telegraph-Bulletin at the depot until the wars end and VJ Day when he sold EXTRAS.
