Mr. Mary Etta White

Mary White, coach for John F. Kennedy Memorial High School was the big winner of our Coach's Giveaway for the 2004 Reach The Beach REC/Youth, School, & Dance Weekend.

The Making Hospitals Fun session saw three groups speak from various vantage points: a student group from Carnegie Mellon's Entertainment Technology Center discussing the design of their their waiting room touchscreen-based consoles; Mary White, informatics fellow at Johns Hopkins University, on the three projects currently underway in her department; and Ryan Sharpe of Get Well Gamers on the problems his organization faced as it grew.

This excerpt describes just one of the projects that Johns Hopkins' Mary White oversaw:

"The second project worked in conjunction with Harriet Lane Clinic in downtown Baltimore, targeting overweight adolescents in the east Baltimore region to provide fitness education that their families might not otherwise be able to afford.Teenagers entered the program on doctor recommendations, and came to the hospital two to three days a week for exercise and nutrition counseling.White said that the clinic provided a "safe place where they can all come in and not be judged based on their weight."She noted that the target demographic, teenagers aged 14-18 and 13-19, was harder to reach because of their involvement with school and recreational activities.

"We looked at Dance Dance Revolution to use in the clinical setting as a way to make fitness fun for them," she said.The games worked because the teens already viewed them in a positive fashion, and, according to White, "despite their socioeconomic status, most of them had video games in their homes."

Port Charlotte resident Mary White is among the more than 59,000 American nurses to serve in the Army Nurse Corps during World War II.After nurses' training at Mercy Hospital in Des Moines, Iowa, Mary was sent to Camp Crowder, Mo.

It was there Mary met her future husband, Chuck, who was serving in the U.S. Army Signal Corp.

"I had heard a group of nurses were coming in," Chuck said, "and a bunch of us guys called to see if they wanted to go out to dinner."

Mary accepted the invitation, and over a period of 6-8 months at Camp Crowder, the two were engaged.

It wasn't long, though, before the two found themselves going their separate ways.Mary was sent to Europe, while Chuck went to the Pacific.

"We were as far apart as we could be," Mary recalled."We spent three years apart."

After the war, Mary chose to get out of the service, going to work for Mercy Hospital in Des Moines.

When Chuck returned, they finally set the date and were married in Albia, Iowa.

"It's my hometown," Mary said."I wanted to go back and be married where my folks were."

The couple traveled all over the States.

"We were an Army family.In one year, we made three major moves: From Fort Bragg, Calif., to Fort Benning, Ga., to Fort Levinworth, Kan., back to to Fort Bragg again."
...
"Fort Benning was nice," Mary said."I liked it the best."

Mary and Chuck have four children -- two girls and two boys -- and Chuck credits his wife with their college educations.

"While I was off playing soldier, Mother (Mary) was keeping the home fires burning and put the kids through college," Chuck said fondly.

It was during a three-year tour in Berlin, Germany, that Chuck heard about Port Charlotte for the first time.

"Some General Development Groups were presenting areas in Florida as a place to live.Port Charlotte happened to be one of them."
...
"One of the salesmen, Woody Hogan, showed us a place on Beeney Road off of Edgewater and I told Mary, 'Let's buy this house and I'll retire.' "

Mary went ahead to Port Charlotte and worked at St. Joseph's Hospital as an instrument nurse, while Chuck went on an overseas tour to Matsu, an offshore island of Taiwan.

Port Charlotte has been their home since 1965.Chuck retired in 1967 after 26 years of military service.The couple has been married for 56 years.

‘‘The issue is the discrimination in the treatment of National Guard versus regular Army," said Marion White of Raynham, head of the support group for the Hingham-based Army National Guard 1058th Transportation Company.
...
Then when you get back to camp, you're ‘only National Guard,"' White said of the situation in Iraq.

‘‘Some of our National Guard soldiers have actually come to the conclusion that they are fighting the war alone.One of our soldiers wrote home that ‘not only are we hated by the Iraqis, but the regular Army hates us, too,"' White said.

White sees inequities in the way soldiers are being treated, which range from dangerous to demeaning, she said.

‘‘Maybe the worst thing is the dangerous one.The distribution of bullet-proof vests," White said.

White believes that National Guard troops generally received complete bullet-proof vests later than regular Army soldiers did.

The newest body armor available has ceramic plates to stop rifle rounds.The Army acknowledged last fall that it did not have vests for about one-quarter of the 130,000 American troops in Iraq at that point.

White said every soldier in the 1058th received a flak vest early on.What was missing from many were the ceramic plates.

‘‘A flak vest will not stop bullets.Some of our people got (ceramic plates) only as recently as Jan. 8," White said.
...
Beyond the vest issue is the indignity ‘‘of being treated like crap by regular Army," White said.

While regular Army soldiers were able to move their quarters from airfields to buildings around June, the 1058th remained in tents on an airfield until around the beginning of November, she said.

‘‘Oh, our people - they were told that they could go into buildings.But those buildings were uninhabitable, bombed-out, filthy places with no windows, no walls, no floors, places nobody should have to live in," White said.

Members of the 1058th finally moved into buildings only after ‘‘they refurbished the buildings with their own tools, with their own hands," she said.

White said the soldiers dealt with ‘‘camel spiders, enormous spiders that spit and jump.
