I wrote St. Louis and they told me that my father's records had been checked out. He was medically retired from the Navy in 1941 and died in 1967.... I would have been the only one interested in his files so why they were checked out is beyond me. Must be misplaced. Could you tell me where in MD you found the files? My daughter's live in the DC area and I could drive to the city there in MD. Dottie
