Host Alison Davis takes a look at the World War II drawings of Danville’s Kendell Erskine. Davis talks to him about the drawings he sent home with letters to his mother from the Pacific theater. “He colored them with small dime-store sets of water colors. He’d lose his paints, or run out of them, or they’d melt, and his
mom would send him more,” said Davis. Erskine’s drawings are on display at the Vermilion County Museum in Danville.
