Biography coming soon.
I’m one of his daughters and I just wanted you to know that my Dad’s DOB was September 5, 1922 just to correct the record. And I’m not sure where the “Home of Record” showing “Burlington, NC” came in but his home of record was Hartford, CT.
Thanks, Janice! This error has been updated. (A copy/paste mistake on my part, evidently I need a copy editor.)
Cheers,
Geoffrey
