Newspaper Articles, Birthdays, and Obituaries

I found several newspaper articles and obituaries in Mother and Dad's files.  I thought these articles would be a good way to see how people were related.  I don't have dates for all of them.

A letter written by Fred Norton to his sister Ann was published in the Wellsville newspaper.

Dad always said this was the last thing he saw before he went overseas.

Left to Right: Robert Haas and Rudy Reinprecht.  

This was taken in 1954 right after docking in England.

Both men from Wellsville went over on the same ship but didn't meet until two days at sea.

Dad went to Washington, D. C. for the dedication of the World War II memorial.

In June 2008 Dad went to Loveland, CO to see the Navy D-Day statue
before it was sent over to Utah Beach in France.

The sculptor, Stephen Spears asked Dad to sign on the inside of the base.

Dad kept a diary throughout the war years.  This is his entry for D-Day.
