The above article has 43 student names. I can send it to those interested. Also, did the ones I sent this to with photo enlarge it? Did anyone get it to Garvin Wood for tomorrow's Oak Dale Cemetery historical marker dedication ? If you want a readable copy of photo and print, send me your E mail request.
