I recently made contact with both Harold Marney and Andrew Kirksey's family. As you know, both of these men were killed on PT-109. I received the following letter in the mail as a donation to my Exhibit. This comes from the Marney family. Kirksey's son will be sending me a donation on behalf of his Dad shortly. This letter is enough to make my hair stand on end, and when you read it, I am sure it will do the same to you. It is a letter from Kennedy to Mr. & Mrs. Marney.

Plus a great find, I could not sleep this morning so around 1:30 in the morning, I was surfing EBAY, when I came across a poster I had been trying to find for many years. Comes from the Alcoa company, and I bought it with one click of the button. A large 32 x 25 poster that is beautiful.

Frank;
Both great finds! I don't remember ALCOA Al, but he looks pretty cool on that Higgins. Once in a blue moon a sleepless night does some good.
Take care,
TED
