Hey Vern:
Nice to see you on the forum(Vern and I already know each other from chatting via email in the past.
Would love to post the photos you were talking about on the Photo Gallery. I look forward to that.
Have you had a chance to talk to any other members of your grandfather's unit, or their family members. It's been a while, so I don't remember who I put you in touch with.
Welcome. Love that pic of your granddad.
I did have the honor of emailing Max Jonah and Al Kincer a few times.... but the information has been very limited. It appears that since my granddad was reassigned to the quartermasters, the 48th really lost touch with him. Regardless he defiantly spent October 1942 through at least January 1944 with the 48th Co. B.
I am sure there are photos/stories out there somewhere... I just have to find them.
I guess my granddad and Tommy GooGoo were buddies in the 48th Co.B. I have attached Tommy's military photo, as well as one when Tommy visited my granddad in his home town of Liberal, Missouri. The visit took place on July 6, 1963.
(NOTE: Sgt Tommy GooGoo is recognized on page 305 of the book "We the 48th" for receiving the silver star in the vicinity of Mt. Porchia, Italy)
Very Truly,
Snod's Grandson
