...With a Quiet Gayety

August 15, 1945, Menasha Record
Menasha celebrates the war's end downtown, in a calm manner.  I'd have liked to have seen this in action-  a mixture of happiness, shock, dismay, sorrow, and relief that the effort had come to its conclusion.  As they awaited the troops' return home, the citizens of Menasha prepared for a period of adjustment.  They all wondered...could things ever be the same as before the war?
