Listen "Elizabeth Smith Friedman and Henry Ware Lawton"
Episode Synopsis
Not long ago, a friend of mine suggested I write about the great aunt of one of our mutual friends… he said that she was “one of the pivotal code breakers of World War II [and] from our area.” Once I got her name, I began to research her—This episode will give you a glimpse of her life.
Today’s True Hero segment continues with the “hometown” theme to the episode. I had often heard this man’s name since I moved to Northeastern Indiana, but did not realize what this man had done to have his name attached to one of the city’s biggest parks. Random History presents, Elizabeth Smith Friedman, and Henry Ware Lawton.
