    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: GREGGL4798 Surnames: LORIMOR Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.iowa.counties.fremont/3959.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Sorry I did not provide more information in my previous post. As a native of Fremont Co., Iowa, USA I monitor this Message Board on a regular basis. So when I saw your post I thought it would be easier for me to provide a photo than for Walter to try to find one. The connection is that Fred Lorimor was my father's older brother. I have inherited a number of the old family photos and information, so if you would like more background I can probably provide it. I have a book titled "Into The Valley" which has a number of stories of actions of the troop carrier planes during World War II. In that book is a first hand account from Maj. Joe Beck, who was with Fred when their plane was shot down in 1944. Major Beck was captured by the Germans but later escaped. If it would be helpful to you I can scan some of the sections of this book which could be of interest. Yes, I would be very interested in receiving a photo of the plane after the crash. You can reach me directly at my E-Mail address at greggl4798@aol.com. Yours truly, Gregg Lorimor Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
