This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: FRIEDLEIN Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lRB.2ACE/923 Message Board Post: I've just gotten a letter from my grandmother, Valeria (maiden name FRIEDLEIN), who was in the Army Air Corp stationed at Mitchell Field. She's sent me on a quest of sorts. It seems that in late February 1946 there was a fire in her barracks, and she helped to get some 66 women billeted there out safely. According to her letter, "The post newspaper had a write up in it mentioning me on the front page..." She would really like to have a copy of this article. I haven't found any info on the Air Corp using the field and I have no idea which library to even start looking in as far as possible extant copies of the post newspaper. Help?
