Museum Information
|
I spoke with Mike Matlock on and he informed us that the Little Rock room is now ours. At this time the park is closed for the winter to April 1st. I had received from Mrs. Elliosn in 06 at the El Paso reunion Harolds original set of wings he received in 1941. They were going to be on display in Buffalo once the room was set up with replicas of all his medals. His original wings and college pins were sent to the Naval Museum in Pennsacola to be placed with his original medals presented to Mrs. Ellison. We will purchase replica wings to be placed in Buffalo. Mike reports we should be ready by July. If you would like to talk with Mike you may do so at 716-694-5451 or if you wish to send him a card which I know he would surely appreciate one, mail to Michael Matlock, 372 Frontier Ave, N. Tonawanda, NY 14120-2416. Check out the museum page. |

I received this from Chuck Petrosky,77-79 whose name is now on the crews list.
Chuck sent some other photos which I will download soon.
I will see if we can get this enlarged and use at the reunion.
Bob Harrigan and others from that era should remember him. |
