From: gcdoak@aol.com To: jmongell@mediaone.net Re: Battlin' Buckeye photos John, Nice website! I'm soooo glad that I am able to send you this picture! There are actually 2 taken a few minutes from each other during an overhaul. Don't know if I posted before, but I have 162 pictures scanned from my Grandfathers WWII album. Time is a real short commodity for me. I'm currently at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, attending the Joint Services Physician's Assistant School. I am active duty U.S. Coast Guard. Neat to hear that the Coast Guard did a fly by. Across town from Kelly field where this whole adventure started for your Dad and my Grandfather. I will do what I can whenever I have time. If you have patience I will come through with the info. Jon Stehn gcdoak@aol.com {Jon is the grandson of Ken Martindale of the 11th Bomb Squad --ed.} |
