Pow 253: One Man's Quest for Life during World War II (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997007800)

Dare K. Kibble was a Navy war hero and World War II POW. He was a POW from December 1941 to August 1945. Dare married Anne Smith Sund, whom he met the first day he returned to Boise from POW camp. He earned a bachelor's and a master's degree in accounting from the University of Idaho, and went to work as a CPA. He loved his family fiercely, loved his outdoors, and his freedom. He believed in the constitution, and why we need the military. He encouraged his sons to join the military, and they did-and so did his grandchildren. He was intensely patriotic. He was known for absolute honesty, and for "calling a spade a spade." Maggie Kibble Newhouse is the daughter of Dare Keane Kibble. Maggie was born and raised in Boise, Idaho, as were her parents. She learned her love of country from her parents. Her mother was a telephone operator during the war, and was best friends with Dare Keane Kibble's sister. Maggie is a wife, a grandmother, the mother of four, and a businesswoman. She really does believe her father was a hero, and a lot of people don't have heroes as parents. She feels privileged to be able to bring this book to life so others will know her father's story, and understand what he and others who served in WW II did for their country
