Rose Broske spent a decade in Hawaii during her Dash Between Rose Broske, the subject of “The Dash Between” in the March 7, 2010, edition of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, used to tell her children, “Go with the flow.” The flow took her, her husband, Bud, and several other young adults from Elyria, Ohio, to Hawaii during World War II. The men went as civilian employees of the Navy shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Rose and some of the women who followed took jobs in Honolulu with the War Department. The Broskes remained in Hawaii for a few years after the war, but their decade in the U.S. territory before it became a state left its imprint. They decorated the rec room in their house with bamboo furniture and furnishings. Rose was cooking stirfry — with pineapple — before it became a popular dish in the states and gave hula lessons to family, friends and students at St. Mary Catholic School in Elyria.

Mason had told friends that he had met a large number of gays in uniform after he was drafted into military service in the early 1950s. He said he found that fact surprising. He was even more amazed that heterosexual servicemen treated him and other gay comrades with respect. Mason believed the reason for the lack of testosterone-filled hubris was simple. During wartime, soldiers were more preoccupied with staying alive than worrying about their fellows’ sexual preferences. (Click headline for more.) SUBMIT AN OBITCompose an obituaryfor a loved one.
