Progress At Last!

Through the kindness of numerous people, we have finally located the Mother Lode of all 835th Aviation Battalion lore and information, namely, the Ray family [Joe, his wife Ruth, and their daughter Beverly].  It turns out that unbeknownst to us, the Rays have held numerous reunions for the 835th throughout the years, and have a huge store of photographs and other memorabilia both from the war years and thereafter.  We hope to have some exciting news for all of you 835th men and families in the early part of this year.
