Master Sgt. George J. Danneffel, non-commissioned officer in charge of the Army recruiting station in Ann Arbor, is the Army's leading recruiter in Michigan. He is shown with the trophy he received because his station led in recruiting last month among 17 competing units throughout the state. It was presented to the sergeant by Col. Walter E. Cole, head of the Michigan Recruiting district, in a special ceremony held yesterday in the Federal building in Detroit. Sg.t Danneffel, 36 years old, is a 1932 graduate of the University of Michigan and formerly lived in Benton Harbor. In the Army since 1943, he joined the 2nd Infantry Division at St. Lo, France, in July, 1944, was wounded in action, returned to duty, and went through France into Germany in the victorious advance of his organization. Sgt. Danneffel, who has headed Ann Arbor's recruiting unit since September, 1945, holds the Purple Hearth, the ETO ribbon with three battle stars, the Victory medal, the German Occupation medal and the American Theater ribbon.
AADL Talks to Kathy Kelley
Kathy Kelly moved into the Hill Street houses when she was very young, but she recalls her life there as a member of the White Panther Party as a positive, life-changing personal experience and social experiment. Kathy talks about daily life in the commune with her friends and colleagues, some of the events she participated in, including the John Sinclair Freedom Rally, as well as her apprenticeship as a graphic artist under legendary rock poster artist, Gary Grimshaw. Kathy's experience with the White Panther Party and Rainbow People's Party led to a successful career in art direction for publishing with magazines such as Chicago, Outside, CREEM, and most especially in educational publishing with Weekly Reader Corporation and Scholastic.
