70 Years Ago January 21, 1955

This winter is great without snow. As the old saying goes “you don’t have to shovel cold.” But this brought me back 50 years ago to the January 9-12, 1975 blizzard. I was at SDSU in Brookings as a freshman that year. Friday night was somewhat nice, but by midnight, the storm started. The wind was ferocious and there was a lot of snow.

We have been learning about Sharon McCully, a 1957 Russell High School graduate who trained as a nurse and volunteered for the Air Force in 1968. She completed flight nurse training before deploying to Vietnam in May 1970, serving with the 903rd Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron (903rd Evac) at Cam Ranh Bay Air Base.
