We didn't, stop until we dropped from fatigue. Had 164 Temperature “Some of us came down with the flu. I remember I was working with a temperature of 104. .there were so many ill to care for. In one week, I lost 18 pounds." Mrs. Rostetter, married to a steel company employee and the mother of a college professor, lives on Staten Island and still is caring for the sick.
