November 25,1938 in the middle of Pennsylvania, Anne was out hunting for rabbits with her 22 rifle. Anne had cleared out the woods of rabbits near her home and was out in a new area and spotted a road leading into the woods. The snow was undisturbed, so she followed the road into the woods. After a ¼ mile she came upon a large building with out lights showing. Anne was thought about exploring, but night was coming, but on the plus side she had seen plenty of rabbit tracks. Anne plans to return early in the morning.



The morning of November 26, Anne was up early and headed out to hunt. For Anne she accepted the hard times in her small town, it was what she had gown up during her 15 years. Anne shots 4 rabbits in the new area and goes on to look on the build she had a discovered the day before. Anne found the door unlocked and entering and flips a light switch and lights come on showing machines of some kind. Anne walks around the room looking at the machines, flasks and tubing. On one on the desks in a flask filled with a glittering substance inside. Anne reaches out for the flask, put pulls her hand away when the substance in the flash moves toward her hand..Anne bends down look at the flask and moves her hand toward it again and the substance moves toward her hand again. Anne grabs the flask and the substance shift abound inside. A puzzled Anne pulls out the stopper and pours some of the substance into her left hand where it seems to evaporates, Anne pours the entire substance on to her hand where it vanishes. A puzzled Anne lays down the flask and looks around some more before leaving.



Anne returns home with her catch, where she skins it and set the skins out. Anne's mom is pleased with the meat since they can't afford to buy it. Anne returns to school on Monday. Anne is working at her uncle dinner/bus stop on roads leading north and south and east and west on December 20. For some reason Anne has been constantly hungry during the last two weeks. That morning Anne had a compulsion to touch every member of her family. She had touched her father, mother, older brother Sam and younger sister Jesse. When she gets to school the compulsion is still upon her. During the week Anne touch a large number of people. A special one was a lovely lady returning to Norfolk, VA from her parents home in western Pennsylvania to her husbands parents home. Brenda had married a USN ensign when he was two years out of the naval academy and was traveling with her 5 month old son. Anne was grateful for the Anne's help with her son and left her a 2 dollar tip for she remembered being the young girl living a hard life, her in-laws were quite wealthy.



During the Christmas holidays her mother's older sister had visited with her two children and when she left she and the children departed with a unknown GIFT from Anne. Anne's aunt returns to her job as a nurse in Philadelphia. During December and January, Anne is passing off her gift to bus travelers and people around town.



Brenda and her son both experience a constant hunger a week after getting home. after 3 weeks Brenda has the need to touch everyone. Being the wife of a naval flier Brenda needs to attend various functions for naval families and meets a Mrs. King. During these Brenda touches every one she can. Brenda's husband is in Florida where new squadrons are forming for the CV7 Wasp. The Captain of Wasp is in harbor after working up the Wasp in the Atlantic and arranges a family function to meet the families of his fliers, There Brenda meets the officers of Wasp and passes off the GIFT.



The Wasp squadrons fly into Norfolk in March, 1939 to a warm welcome from families. By July, 1939 the GIFT was everywhere in the Atlantic ships and bases. In Philadelphia Anne's aunt by July, 1939 had given the GIFT to everyone in the Hospital. Early in 1939 she had given the GIFT to the local congressional Representative. By August 1939 all members of congress and everyone in the White House had received the GIFT. By the end of 1939 over 20% of the US population had been GIFTed. By the middle of 1940 over 60% of the US population had been GIFTed.
