A few months ago, a lady came into the Museum & was looking to know her father better. He was in World War II, but she did not get a chance to know him that well and especially not his military time. Do to some great books, including a scrapbook, and some amazing websites, she was able to walk out with a lot of information about her dad in WWII. We were able to find the name of the ship & where it was deployed to. We also found out that he was one of the first members on the boat & that there was a group for members of the ship.
She came in today. She let me know that she had contacted the group and is on her way shortly to meet members including a gentleman that served almost the whole time on the ship with her dad. He even wrote a book about his experience.
I LOVE this part of my job. How amazing to match people up to their questions. :)
