Hopefully it can find a good home.

    1. Given the "2nd" list of names has 9 entries - I think the rows are listed back to front.

  6. Thanks, Intnese Guy for your research. I'm hopeful this photo is returned to a family member and that FarSide will send many scanned copies.

    I'm curious how the photo ended up in an Eagles hall in the middle of Wyoming.

  9. Blog reader David sent me an email , he used to work in Kenosha Wisconsin.
    Looked in Ancestry and found Ernest N. Turco. He was born March 22, 1920, enlisted in the Army on March 30, 1942, died July 1977.

    Parents were Mike and Angeline Turco.



    This might help in locating someone who is interested in receiving the photograph.
