Join us as we welcome Barbara Blakely Holck to The Clubmobile, daughter of Everett and Margaret Blakely. Barbara's father, Everett Blakely, is known throughout the 100th Bomb Group, but her mother Margaret also has a story. Most well known is her 1943 photo alongside Jean Crosby and Gerry Hamilton, but the "Legs" photo isn't all of Margaret Blakely's story.

This is an episode full of laughter, family memories, and the story of Margaret through her youngest daughter's eyes.
