C.\nC.\nMy dear Colonel Groppe:\nAttached herewith is a folder for Carolyn Lucille 0°Connor.\nShe has been very persistent in her attempts to reestablish horgelf in\ngood standing with the Red Cross Nursing Service and also to be consid-\nereid for appointment with the Army Nurse Corps. We feel she is unsuitalle\nfor such considero tion for the folloring reasons:\n1.\nShe was one of the nurses recruited by the Red Cross to serve\nwith the O.C.D. Unit in hawaii; she was released from this assigh-\nment becanae of disorderly conduct and evidence that she was an\nalcoholic ( December, 1942), and her enrollment in the Red Cross\nNursing Service was subsequently annulled.\nOn her return to this country, she called on Colonel Blanchfield\nand then carie over to see Miss Beard, but in Miss Beard's absence.\nI saw her. She felt that she had been greatly misjudged in Havaii\nand received very unfair treatment; she made the statement that\nshe was not nearly as bad as some. She wanted very much to rees-\ntablish herself and we explained that the only way she could do so\nwis by reestablishing harself in civilion nursing in this country\nand lemonstrating conclusively that none of the tendencies which\nwere manifest in Hawaii were still appsrent.\nShe has recently written to us indicating the places where she\nhas been employed and We have attempted to obtain references in\nregard to her. \"We really have been able to assenhle very little\nbecause her work has been very spasmodio and not for sufficiently\nlong periods of time for anyone to judge her definitely. The\nonly definite statement we do have in regard to hor is that she\nis undependable.\n2.\nOn personal interview she appears to be a highly nervous, excitable\ntype of individual, an invetirate talker ho will scarcely give\nyou an opportunity to get a vord in. She undoubtedly had an\nhanfortunate past and in ccepting her appointment to Bawaii, was\ntrying to run out on an unhappy domestic situation which was unicnom\nto us at the time,\n0"
