My step sister was rummaging around in her basement not long ago and found a box that was mismarked "old files". Turned out it was all of the surviving pictures, records, newspaper clippings, etc etc of my father. Even his flag was in the box. They gave the box to me last Saturday. It's taken me a while to go through it...but I did put together a few things and took this pic.. He's farthest left.

How nice to have all of those items. Glad they didn't get tossed. What a treasure!
Good thing my sister is a pack rat (she's a real estate attorney) and never just throws anything away with checking three times. Our mother must have had it all together and it just ended up in a mismarked box in sis' document storage area.

Dad perished in 1958..about 6 weeks after I was born. Buried in Arlington.
