Sad Eyes with Dan Perkins

Today, The Two Mikes interviewed the author Dan
Perkins, who has written six novels and three children's
books.
Mr. Perkins' new book is the first volume of a work entitled Sad
Eyes: Book One:1912 to 1939: A Nurse's love of her country during
WW II.
The book is the story of a woman named Mary Ellen Murphy who was
born in Waterloo, Iowa, in 1912. The book follows Murphy's life,
education, job experiences, relationships, accomplishments, and
lessons learned to the eve of war.
The book is a fictional memoir written in the first person, and Mr.
Perkins has already been applauded for his ability to successfully
write in a manner that reflects Murphy's femininity, desire for
independence, commonsense. and her development of ability to
compete in a then male-dominated society. Murphy leaves Waterloo
after high school and attends nursing school in Chicago, and upon
graduation attends another school to be trained as an Emergency
Room nurse.
The latter requires working 50 weeks per year, both learning her
medical skills and working after classes and on weekends in the
hospital to help pay for her board and tuition. She graduates and
works for several more years in Chicago, and then moves to San
Diego and takes a job with the U.S. military and is assigned to
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. At Pearl Harbor she is assigned the task of
assessing the quality of the medical supplies that would be used to
address wounds in case of war. She finds those supplies to be poor
in quality and improperly stored. Thereafter, Murphy's career
begins to unfold as she gains ever greater confidence,
responsibilities, and respect among her peers and seniors as war
nears for America.
In this book, Mr. Perkins, who also has 50 years experience as an
investment adviser, provides another brick for the still unfinished
building that will eventually house an accurate and encompassing
picture of the many key roles played by women in winning World War
II, especially in areas such as medicine, air transport, scientific
research, administration, and espionage. It should be welcomed by
all Americans.
