>From 1914 to 1917 Future President Herbert Hoover and his family lived in >London. When war broke out Lou (his wife) was Herbert's trusted partner at >this crucial time. She commuted back and forth between her husband in London and her boys in California during the war years (1915-16). She was also president of the Society of American Women in London which undertook various relief projects. She arranged for the sale of Belgian lace in order to help that industry survive during the war years.
She was a very interesting lady had her hands and heart in many causes. She is also the one to blame for all the Girl Scout cookies we love to eat.
