Jim,
Great picture of our Division monument to Curtis Shoup. Mitch Kaidy and
I designed, built and installed that plaque about 7-8 years ago. The men of
the division donated about $2500 it cost. It was dedicated on Memorial Day
with a very impressive ceremony. Bob Watson, Curtis's comanding officer,
and a friend --they both grew up in Oswego --- gave the dedication speech.
I was by the site a couple of months ago and was angry at what the town has
done. The plaque is now partially hidden by a large stage they have
erected. I intend to get back there soon and talk the the mayor. I'll send
you a picture of what it looks like now.
How did you come across this picture?
