Hello Walt...sorry for the delay...my desk top computer laid an egg and we now have a laptop. I lost alot of information from the desk top, but now I'm back.
No sir, I do not know John Martino. As far as the Schuler's yes, my mom still speaks to Elsie on a regular basis. DFC was a great place and I have some wonderful memories. That building certainly had it's cast of characters. Hope all is well with you.

[ Hi Dan
I Understand computer problems they are great when all is well.
I read in one of your messages that you were with the AC police.
I cameback from Combat with the 8th AF in early 1945. I wanted to stay close to home so I volunteered to Be an MP. I patroled the Boardwalk 12 to 8 with an AC policeman many a nite. Then I became a Patrol Sergant and had a 10 man patrol. My last duty was leading the 1945 Miss America parade as Honor Guard. Glad to hear your mom
is in contact with Elsie I know she appreciates the suport.
Walt

My father, Al Burger, was a member of DFC for many years, and then went to #1. I have very fond memories of the old station. If anyone is interested, I am in the process of finding out if there is any memoribilia still stored in the station. If anyone would like to contact me, my e-mail is esb8103@hotmail.com.
