in World War II


Barbara J. Gotham

Mrs. Gotham retired in December 2011 from the Energy Center/Discovery Park at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana. She is currently employed part-time at CINDAS LLC, West Lafayette, Indiana.

Mrs. Gotham became involved with this group through her association with Ted Williams at Purdue University in the 1990s.

Although she has no familial relation to the 380th Bomb Group veterans, she thinks of all the members of the 380th as family and considers her work with them as a labor of love and thanks them for their service to our great country.

Her interests include traveling, reading, camping, fitness, gaming; in addition, she is an avid supporter of women's sports, especially the Purdue University's women's basketball program.
