Meet Erma M. Hall

What a treat we have today on the The Best Dam Podcast.  Mrs. Erma Mary Hall, resident of the Southern Nevada Veteran’s Home and amazing lady that has become a true hero to me. 

At age 93 years young, Miss Erma is currently serving on the Resident Board of Directors for the Veteran’s Home and has become quite an asset to the staff and residents there.  She has led a full life of service to her country and family and as you listen, you will hear the fire in her voice as she talks about her children, her husband, her career, and her amazing life journey. 

Episode Highlights

In today's episode we hear about:

•  her great story of growing up in the Bronx of New York in the 30’s and as a teenager, being obsessed with movie stars.  Learn how she and her girlfriend would strategize to be able to get the autographs of all the popular stars.  Wait until you hear about Frank Sinatra.
• After she graduated from high school, she went into the military with her sister Lilly.  She was in the first wave of recruits when the Army Air Corp was split into the modern-day air force.    While serving her country in the Air Force, she was stationed at the Pentagon where she met her husband and began her family.  She shares what a beautiful military wedding it was and listen to learn more about her very special wedding dress.  They were married for over 60 years.
• Erma tells quite fun stories about her career experiences such as meeting a very famous General at the Pentagon.  As well as telling us about her ability to see the world as she and her husband were stationed in places like Tokyo, Japan right after the war, in Ottawa, CN, Ramstein Germany, Munich, Germany, San Antonio,  TX, and Colorado Springs, CO.  

Being in the same room with Erma was electrifying and challenging to be a sharp as she is at 93 years young.  What an honor.   I want to be just like her when I grow up!  

We hope that listening to the sweet lady will inspire and entertain you.
