Oral History Interview with Eleanor Rigby, July 18, 1970 (open access)

Oral History Interview with Eleanor Rigby, July 18, 1970

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an interview with Eleanor Rigby. Rigby was too young to serve overseas during World War I. Before World War II, she was volunteering with the Connecticut Defense Council. By August, 1942, she had joined the WAVES. Her first assignment was personnel management at Northampton before going to into administration at Hunter College in early 1943. Rigby describes some of the organizational problems the training facility had early on. She also describes several aspects of training women in the Navy during WWII. In late 1944, Rigby was among the first WAVES to go overseas when she was assigned to the 14th Naval District in Hawaii where she was charged with making arrangements to receive more enlisted women. She shares a few anecdotes about meeting Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Spruance as well as Margaret Chung. After the war she was involved in public relations before retiring in June 1949.
