Randy at his best yet again!
Great job, my friend!
A couple of observations... there is a Stephen E. Long listed on page two which interesting enough I ran across in trying to identify guys in the unit photo in a Dixon newspaper article. Also, on page 3 there is a M. Nelson Weaver listed. This was the poor fella who died on Jan 1, 1945 from non battle injuries (which we are still trying to determine). Since the addresses seem to be in the soldiers own handwriting and considering when Weaver died (as well as the fact that he is on page 3) that would tend to imply that Randy's grandfather must have started the list pretty early on. Interesting...

Gary,
Nice job! Here is a picture of Stephen Long that Ralph had sent me sometime ago. I know you don't see much of his face because of the pistol. I was thinking Ralph had another picture of him, maybe Ralph will post that if he does.
Good observations about the address book. I looked through some old emails and found a couple of scans Ralph had sent me, showing some names and addresses his father had. As you can see there are some of the same names and the same handwriting.
Have a good one Gary.
Randy
