Schooling With Uncle Sam: Celebrating 75 years of DoDEA (Museum of the American Military Family Publications)

SCHOOLING WITH UNCLE SAM Compiled by Circe Olson Woessner and Allen Dale Olson (editors) and Joan Y. Olson (illustrator) An anthology of nearly a hundred first-hand stories and commentary by former teachers and students of DoDEA — the world-wide Department of Defense school system for the children of U.S. military personnel. The collection pays tribute to the 75th anniversary of the far-flung school district which opened in Germany and Japan in October 1946. The stories were compiled by a father-daughter team with a combined total of more than 70 years of affiliation with the schools and who have become recognized historians of the system. Schooling with Uncle Sam also documents the history and evolution of DoDEA from its founding in the rubble of World War II to our pandemic of today.
