A few days ago, we asked; “Can you name this amazing alumna who enlisted in the US Navy WAVES during World War II? In the next post, will be a letter she wrote back home to the Suffolk County News in 1943.”

The answer is Virginia (Wolfe) Main, Born June 19, 1920 in Manhattan, New York and died July 5, 2009 (aged 89) Fremont, Alameda County, California.

She was the daughter of Charles and Frances Wolfe. They lived at 99 Candee Ave, Sayville.
