Born April 5, 1908, she was an artist from California and graduated from Stanford University. She also studied at Art Students League in New York and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, California. She was commissioned to do portrait sketches mainly on the west coast of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Becoming somewhat of a local celebrity, she received many thank you notes and was written about in local newspapers. Her sketches are portraits of many different servicemen, which she describes the process in her 1945 radio interview. The original sketches and one copy were sent to the subjects and their families, while Shearer was able to keep a photostatic copy for her portfolio.","In 1943, she was a hostess at an Officers Lounge in California where she met a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) named R.H. Bennett. This appears to be her longest correspondence during the war and the letters appeared to be romantic in nature over the span of two years. Sadly, the letters come to an untimely end with two letters marked \"return to sender\" to Shearer. In one of those letters, she makes the assumption that Bennett was at Iwo Jima; this combined with the end of the correspondence most likely means that he died in the Pacific. Between her letters with friends and servicemen and the news articles written about her, it is clear that she was very popular, talented, and was a part of the great work of the USO helping servicemen recover from war. Mildred Dabney Shearer-Lacayo- Didot passed away February 24, 2001.","Revised 06/02/2016, Revised 05/31/2016, Entered 05/26/2016.","This collection contains personal papers including letters, notes, sketches, newspaper articles, and a radio interview of Mildred Shearer about her work with the United Service Organization (USO) sketching servicemen. Almost 600 photostatic copies and a few original portraits are included as well. The letters are mainly thank you notes in which servicemen and family members of servicemen commend her for her sketches.","However, there are a few personal letters from friends and in one case, an entire collection of correspondence with one man in the Marines named Lieutenant Ralph Hunter Bennett. Her letters from Bennett are romantic in nature, unfortunately, they are abruptly cut off, most likely by his death during the Battle of Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945.  The notes include addresses of her subjects. It appears that a scrapbook was created, perhaps by Shearer herself, filled with newspaper clippings from the 1940s advertising and describing Shearer's work with the USO. Photocopies of this scrapbook are also included with the collection. The radio interview of Mildred Shearer took place in Hollywood, California in November 1945. Her French, Italian, and Spanish language guides as well as her Soldier Art Infantry Journal, Fighting Forces Series book is included as well.","Permission to publish, exhibit, or broadcast works from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience must be requested and granted in writing by the director of the Institute.

She was commissioned to do portrait sketches mainly on the west coast of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Becoming somewhat of a local celebrity, she received many thank you notes and was written about in local newspapers. Her sketches are portraits of many different servicemen, which she describes the process in her 1945 radio interview. The original sketches and one copy were sent to the subjects and their families, while Shearer was able to keep a photostatic copy for her portfolio.","In 1943, she was a hostess at an Officers Lounge in California where she met a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) named R.H. Bennett. This appears to be her longest correspondence during the war and the letters appeared to be romantic in nature over the span of two years. Sadly, the letters come to an untimely end with two letters marked \"return to sender\" to Shearer. In one of those letters, she makes the assumption that Bennett was at Iwo Jima; this combined with the end of the correspondence most likely means that he died in the Pacific. Between her letters with friends and servicemen and the news articles written about her, it is clear that she was very popular, talented, and was a part of the great work of the USO helping servicemen recover from war.

Born April 5, 1908, she was an artist from California and graduated from Stanford University. She also studied at Art Students League in New York and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles, California. She was commissioned to do portrait sketches mainly on the west coast of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Becoming somewhat of a local celebrity, she received many thank you notes and was written about in local newspapers. Her sketches are portraits of many different servicemen, which she describes the process in her 1945 radio interview. The original sketches and one copy were sent to the subjects and their families, while Shearer was able to keep a photostatic copy for her portfolio.","In 1943, she was a hostess at an Officers Lounge in California where she met a lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) named R.H. Bennett. This appears to be her longest correspondence during the war and the letters appeared to be romantic in nature over the span of two years. Sadly, the letters come to an untimely end with two letters marked \"return to sender\" to Shearer. In one of those letters, she makes the assumption that Bennett was at Iwo Jima; this combined with the end of the correspondence most likely means that he died in the Pacific. Between her letters with friends and servicemen and the news articles written about her, it is clear that she was very popular, talented, and was a part of the great work of the USO helping servicemen recover from war. Mildred Dabney Shearer-Lacayo- Didot passed away February 24, 2001.","Revised 06/02/2016, Revised 05/31/2016, Entered 05/26/2016.","This collection contains personal papers including letters, notes, sketches, newspaper articles, and a radio interview of Mildred Shearer about her work with the United Service Organization (USO) sketching servicemen. Almost 600 photostatic copies and a few original portraits are included as well. The letters are mainly thank you notes in which servicemen and family members of servicemen commend her for her sketches.","However, there are a few personal letters from friends and in one case, an entire collection of correspondence with one man in the Marines named Lieutenant Ralph Hunter Bennett. Her letters from Bennett are romantic in nature, unfortunately, they are abruptly cut off, most likely by his death during the Battle of Iwo Jima on March 3, 1945.  The notes include addresses of her subjects. It appears that a scrapbook was created, perhaps by Shearer herself, filled with newspaper clippings from the 1940s advertising and describing Shearer's work with the USO. Photocopies of this scrapbook are also included with the collection. The radio interview of Mildred Shearer took place in Hollywood, California in November 1945. Her French, Italian, and Spanish language guides as well as her Soldier Art Infantry Journal, Fighting Forces Series book is included as well.","Permission to publish, exhibit, or broadcast works from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience must be requested and granted in writing by the director of the Institute.

They joined Leona's father Martin in Hazleton, PA where Martin had immigrated in 1910. ","She graduated from Hazleton High School in 1929 and from St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing in Reading, PA in 1932. She then worked as registered nurse at Pennsylvania State Hospital, Corrigan Maternity Hospital, and Public Health Clinic in Hazleton, PA. ","After her parents' deaths, she lived with her sister, Josephine and brother-in-law, Carmen, in 1938. Her two brothers, Vincent and Louis, also lived in the household. Carmen provided the house, Josephine was the homemaker, and Leona provided financial support to raise the two orphaned brothers. ","In 1942, Leona joined the U.S. Army as a lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps and was assigned to the Army Air Force base at Key Field in Meridian, Mississippi where she met Francis Curie Skilling (1900-1968), a medical officer who had volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1942. He had been a practicing ophthalmologist since 1935 in Miami, FL until his death in 1968. ","She was later assigned to MacCluskey General Hospital in 1944 and served in Texas and Bushnell, Utah for overseas training. She was attached to the 172nd Hospital Unit and later the 142nd Hospital Unit of the University of Maryland. She served in the CBI (China – Burma – India) theater in 1945. Her main station was in Calcutta, India in a colonial hospital leased from the British government and staffed by Americans. She served as an RN with the nursing unit.","While in India she flew to Karachi and Darjeeling on USAAF transport aircraft. She flew \"over the Hump\" (the Himalayas) and into Kunming, China. She was usually the only female on the aircraft (C-47s) when wounded soldiers were being carried.","During her tour of duty overseas, she corresponded with Major Francis Skilling. She also corresponded with her sister Josephine and her nephews Robert and John Gaudio, known as \"Bobby\" and \"Jackie\".

He was returned to the U.S. mainland in 1945 and entered Walter Reed Army General Hospital in Washington, D.C. for treatment. Some of his surviving letters to his sister Josephine make up part of the collection.","In 1945, Leona was reassigned to Walter Reed Hospital as a nurse and was allowed to help take care of her brother Vincent, who was dying.

","After her parents' deaths, she lived with her sister, Josephine and brother-in-law, Carmen, in 1938. Her two brothers, Vincent and Louis, also lived in the household. Carmen provided the house, Josephine was the homemaker, and Leona provided financial support to raise the two orphaned brothers. ","In 1942, Leona joined the U.S. Army as a lieutenant in the Army Nurse Corps and was assigned to the Army Air Force base at Key Field in Meridian, Mississippi where she met Francis Curie Skilling (1900-1968), a medical officer who had volunteered for the Army Air Corps in 1942.
