Sandy, I thought I was getting a good photo when I was up there. It just did not happen . I would love to take that photo but I am in south Texas and it is a long jaunt for someone old enough to have his name on the memorial. I was hoping some good samaritan up there would take the burden and do it. I am contemplating doing it for a memorial in Houston at 11th street and Heights bouvelard and giving it to the Harris County society (if someone has not done it already).

Hi Cliff, Not promising anything but maybe come Spring I'll try to drive up and take a picture. Happy New Year.
