Charles W. Croasdill, U.S. Army

In May 2015, Helen Croasdill Monfort posted this photo of her father, Charles W. Croasdill, on Facebook. She said it was taken while he served in the U.S. Army. He was drafted after earning a degree in education from the University of Washington and teaching in eastern Washington in Wallula, Wash., near the Washington-Oregon border, the "Army sent him to the Aleutian Islands and he was trained as a radio operator," she said. "There was a very small base and because of the brutal weather, not much to do.  The Army supplied the men with cigarettes and playing cards.  He smoked until the day he passed away of a stroke at age 80.  As many of you know, he was a much-loved man and educator.  He was a great father."
