memories.

Florence Krantz, 93, holds a print of a photograph of the entrance to Igloo, S.D., during the Black Hills Ordnance Depot reunion in Rapid City. Krantz lived in Igloo from 1948 to 1967, when the town was shut down. Krantz was the activity director for the community building and managed the credit union office. "When I moved to Igloo," Krantz, who moved from Minnesota, said. "I cried because there were no trees higher than the rooftops. I cried when I left. We were like one big family in Igloo, and we still are." Igloo was formed in 1942 by the military to store hazardous gasses and was disbanded in 1967.
