- Description:
- Eileen Jackson Crane talks about her service as a civilian U.S. State Department employee working at military bases in the U.S. and overseas from June 1943 to October 1946. She says that she served first as a Cafeteria Hostess and later as Command Hostess at the U.S. Air Force base in Wiesbaden, Germany. She describes her duties as a hostess, her pay, base housing, medical care, being prohibited from eating in the cafeterias she ran, trying to manage appropriate levels of food inventory, life as a civilian working with the military, and being prohibited from fraternizing with the local German population. She also remembers being assigned to set up a segregated service club for African-American soldiers. Crane is interviewed by Neola Ann Spackman.
