Mary Eloise Syester Bathurst
I attended Michael Reese Hospital School of Nursing, Chicago, Illinois, and was a member of the United States Cadet Nurse Corps-March 1944-1947. The last six months of school my service was at the United States Veterans Administration Hospital in Downey, Illinois. Following graduation I worked another year at the VA Hospital. Being a nurse had been my dream. I continued my nursing career and after retirement was a volunteer nurse at a clinic.
