Indeed the same gent. I wrote Mr. Hinman about the book I have on the 291st (First Across The Rhine by Col. Pergrin) and he wrote back that that was indeed the Col. (still alive!!!) that he contacted and who remembered William! As I understand the Col. and William's son are now in contact with eachother. The Col. is also a one-time CO of teh 82nd Engineers and came to a renunion where he told in some detail about the particular bombing in which William was KIA!
All credits in this should go to mr. Hinman of the 82nd in this!
