Margaret Alma Chase Camajani (October 13, 1905 – October 4, 1997) was an American Red Cross recreation club worker during World War II.[2] From August 1942 to May 1945 she was assigned to England and North Africa near General Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters.
Biography
[edit | edit source]Chase graduated from the University of California, Berkeley circa 1927 and then taught art in several high schools in California.[1] In early 1942, she was an art teacher working at Lowell High School before she began working with the American Red Cross.[3][1]
Chase was initially sent to Naples, Italy as a Red Cross volunteer.[4] Chase was friends with Ernest "Tex" Lee during most of this time.[5][1] In 1944, Chase described her boat trip across the Atlantic, air raids, and how soldiers wanted to be clean and eat after they return from battle.[3] That year she became a member of the board of the San Luis Obispo, California chapter of the Red Cross.[6]
In her 1983 book Never Too Late, Chase was joined other authors who discounted the idea that Kay Summersby and Dwight D. Eisenhower had a love affair.[5][2]
At the age of 60, Chase married Giovanni Camajani.[7]
