Wilmer Cressman

UMGA-TV and the King of Prussia Historical Society present Remember When as an oral history project of life and community in Upper Merion Township.  In their own words, the people who lived the history of Upper Merion Township tell us about that history. 

In this edition, host Carl Schultheis sits down with Wilmer Cressman.  Wilmer was born in 1931.  He went to the Port Kennedy School, a 4 room schoolhouse.  He also talks about the day he was playing football with his friends when he found out Pearl Harbor was bombed.  Talks about his grandmother's pet alligator, and his family's rationing to help the war effort. Please, sit back and listen to Wilmer Remember When.
