Dell, as she was known, was a smart, funny person. Trained as a nurse, she originally wanted to become a journalist but it was the Depression and she couldn't afford the tuition to Syracuse University. She went to nursing school at St Luke's Hospital in Newburgh, NY where she was the class valedictorian. We traveled to Japan, island of Shikoku where my Dad was stationed. After my Dad died, she remarried . . . to Vincent M. Pielka. Her maiden name was Hunecke. She was the youngest of 3 children. Lillian, the eldest and Albert. She and Uncle Al were very close.
