Hi list, I'm looking for the family of Horace "Whitey" DERRICKSON, who was b. 1918-19 in Maryland. He was from Philadelphia, PA, and his family did something with river boats. He was killed in action during the Battle of the Bulge in WW II. His parent's were Samuel & Dora DERRICKSON & they emigrated to Philadelphia bet. 1922-1928 from MD.
