I can do you one better; how about a REAL member of the 157th. A very dear friend of mine, Harold Whiting. In fact I just attended their reunion a couple of months ago. It was only a few miles from our engineer reunion in Lebanon, PA. So Harold dropped by ours on Sat and Sun, and then my daughter and I went with him, and attended the 157th's later on Sun and Mon. Great opportunity!
Am sending you his private information via email. Also sending four or five other names of sons and daughters. Barbara ran the reunion this year, and should be able to supply you with more veteran contacts etc.
As far as places, the 540th, 36th etc., were also in many of those same areas, so we may have photos to share with you too.
Regards,
Marion
