This is an article about Dad that was in the AARP Bulletin in January/February 2009.

Dad's ship name was etched into the base of the statue.

This is an email we received from Stephen Spears after Dad passed away.

This is what V Mail looked like. The one on the left is from Dad's sister Ann.  The one on the right is from his Aunt Pauline.

This is Dad's Red Lantern Club from high school.  He listed where each man served in World War II.

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.
