Still no word as of yet

Information from 903rd vet B Kohl: Wish I knew. He was our best man at our wedding!!!! He married Rita Cass. Don't know about her either. I think he was from a little town of Lilly Pa. We were married Dec 1, 1956. Mmarried 52 years last Dec. So he is about 74 or so like Bernie. If you ever hear, please let us know. Possibly Joanne Cass that works at the hospital in Gburg may know something.
