My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

Maintenance, care and use of complex fire control equipment...
projectiles, powder cases lifted up hoists... readiness for action...
safety... clear and alert minds... all part of the ingredients that
make up a good firecontrol technician... It is a task that
requires a steady hand and a steady mind.

I wonder if the Schwartz brothers, the
Blichfeldt brothers, Larry Knott and
Gunner Case from that period are
still around. |
