    Happy New Year!!!  Even though this has been a trying task, I hope you can help me.  My grandfather served and was wounded in WWII.  After spending many months in a coma in a foreign hospital, he was transferred to a medical facility in New Orleans, LA.  There was a young W.A.C., Ms. Lola Mason, serving there...she practically brought my grandfather back to life by showing kindness and interest.  Many years have passed, but he and my grandmother would love to be able to find her and thank her for her war efforts.  I have searched the net, books, and libraries...no luck.
    My grandfather, 81 yrs old, is only able to remember her name, Lola Mason (maiden)...that she was from Renova, Clinton County, Pennsylvania...her father and brother worked in the coal mines...& his hospital stay took place around August 1945.
    Please help!!!
     
    Stumped,

  • Have been looking since 1980 for Diane Sue Michael, whom I met at Ft. Jackson, SC in August, 1975.  We were B-17-5 for women's basic training.  Then we both went on to Cook School also at Ft. Jackson.  In December 1975 she was admitted to base hospital just before graduation, and I never saw her again.  She was probably born in 1956, and graduated high school in 1974 (Michael is/was her married name).  Diane grew up in Iowa, I think in the Davenport area.  Her Army husband was based at Ft. Polk, LA while she was in basic.  She had long blond hair and was 5'8" or so.  Please help!  Also, I'd love to find a female drill Sgt. Perez...do not know her first name.  Drill Sgt. at Fort Jackson in 1975 (same unit).  she was perhaps 5'5" or so and from a hispanic background, and born possibly in early 1950's.  Contact:  Peggy Engle - 301 Horatio Street - Punxsutawney, PA 15767 - Phone: (814) 938-3242  -  E-mail: dbengle@pennswoods.net.
