Daddy (Ervin Bartow Shaw, Sr.) was draft-deferred (4F) due to flat feet. On Dec. 7, 1941, Japan forces attacked the U. S. installation at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii & killed 2403 Americans that day! Immediately & urgently wanting to be part of the defense of the USA, Ervin started contacting the local Draft Board, etc. to no avail. Wife, Mildred Brown Shaw, was a nurse for Dr. J. R. Dunn; and she typed this letter to the Commander of the Fourth Corps Area Headquarters begging to be allowed to help. Ultimately, Ervin would board a train to Washington, D. C. to try to convince his S. C. members of Congress to grant an exception. Ervin makes his argument in this letter about granting exceptions for skilled persons to take non-combat roles. It worked.

June 1959 arial photograph of Shaw cottage (one of the first cottages built non-ocean-front & now with address of 90 Media Lane) at Retreat Beach in Georgetown County, S. C. (now called North Litchfield Beach). This subsequently became Litchfield Beach. The pilot who took the photo was a few years older than Lucia Shaw Gillett: Dwayne Reaves (wife, Barbara). The Reaves couple had rented the Uncle Will & Teddy Shaw over-the-garage apartment in Sumter when they were stationed at Shaw AFB. When the Reaves couple transferred to Myrtle Beach AFB, they rented the lower floor of this retreat Beach house. They may have been from Oregon & were last in California. This photograph faces inland...westward & with Atlantic Ocean in the opposite...eastward...direction.

Boy's High School being the only high school in the USA using Springfield Rifles for that competition) was presented each year by Mr. Mitchell Levi. The awardee was determined each year by a committee of military men who inspected the Battalion on several occasions. The size of the medal is seen next to an ordinary lead pencil. As of 2016, this medal is in the possession of Dr. Ervin Shaw, Ervin's son.

Daddy invested in individual company stocks before the days of risk modification with mutual funds. I was shocked when he told me he had bought some coal futures (and it was a scam). I found this clipping in some of his old things he'd saved.

After my mother died, this was the keep sake that I wanted. After black Aunt Sallie White (of the old home place area, Shaws Crossroad) died, Daddy was given this bowl of Aunt Sallie's as a remembrance of her motherly contribution to his life during his own mother's illness & death when he was a boy & then as he grew up and moved out. Momma's handwriting composes the note she stuck inside the bowl.
