ReplyDeleteHi Dominic. The photo is one that I found on an internet website (I don;t know which one) and I do not own the rights to its use.
ReplyDeleteThank you for responding, it is a great photo, and I enjoyed reviewing your blog. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to blow your mind but I was named specifically after Roger Ellis!! My father was Eugene K Epperson and Roger was one of his BEST friends. You'll see dads name in some of what you've posted here. I cannot believe I found your posting. Roger Epperson
ReplyDeleteHi Roger. Please send me an email at roger.c.ellis@gmail.com so we can discuss further.
DeleteI have a set of personnel orders that shows your dad and mine in the same graduating class for advanced pilot training, class 45-C at Luke Field. Their names fall next to each pother in alphabetical order. My father Roger Crosby Ellis was Army serial number T12870 and Your father Eugene Kirk Epperson was T12871.
DeleteI have a photo of Class 45-C Squad 2 with all of the names listed on the back. Your father is in the photo in the same row as mine!
