What a difference a letter makes. Article wise there is not much. There is a 10 Dec 1944 (page 2, Pacific Echoes, Gene Sherman, Brisbane, Australia), sort of a social article, ...Harold A. KURBAT, 495 S. Spaulding Drive, Beverly Hills, a bot skipper in the "Army's Navy," was at the American Center, too. "I am on my way to Sydney," I told him. "Oh, brother," said Hal. "Nice town, eh?" I said. "Oh, brother," said Hal. No doubt referring to R&R activities. There is a 25 May 1949 mentioning (Page B3) that Harold KURBAT was best man at the wedding of Marilou RALKE and Gordon Crane CERSWELL, though the title reads "CRANE-RALKE Vows Taken in Church". And the funeral annoucement for Carl's brother William that I sent you. There are directory listings http://rescarta.lapl.org:8080/ResCarta-Web/jsp/RcWebSimpleSearch.jsp starting in 1929 with Carl and Ina, but the next available listing 1936 does not show either Carl or Ina. There is a George and Gordon. The 1938 listing indicates that Carl has married another, Frieda and there is a Frieda on the CADI, 1897-1979.
