Hi 8th AF Friends,
Wishing you all a Happy New Year and I hope I get a chance to hook up with all my Friends over in England this year; Thorpe Abbotts Museum staff and volunteers, Moofy, Ian Hawkins, Martin Bowman, David Osbourn, Geoff Ward, Maurice and Leah Hammond, and the rest of the keepers of the "Fields of Little America".
I am hoping that someone may know who this is:
“While in England I sort of adopted 2 children who had lost their parents in a bomb raid. Te boy was a bout 10 or 11 and a beautiful blonde headed girl about 7 or 8. They lived near the base ands would come by everyday to see me, partly I guess because I kept them supplied with candy and also I saved what food I could get my hand on, including fruit. I’ve wondered about them often but lost contact with them when I came back to the U.S. The boy and I wrote to each other for a while but finally drifted apart. For that I am sorry.”
This is from Robert Kazee, (TG on Capt Willis Miller's crew, 349th BS, 100th BG) diary. Any help tracking them down would be wonderful and maybe help one of our boys find some peace of mind.
