Well, here it is

Recieved that book in the mail this last week. Looks like kinda dry reading, but I think I'll slog thru it anyway. Has lots of photos in it, most or all of which I have the negatives and lots of 8" x 10" prints.







This is a letter sent to Vernon's family(his folks, presumably) from Captain Karig, trying to find him. Aunt Mickey wrote a letter to Vernon, stating they'd answered him back, letting him know where Vernon was at, and sent along the note from Karig.



And he also sent a couple newspaper clippings about the book.




And here's an autographed pic of the captain. Kinda hard to read what he wrote on the front, but it's re-written on the back.

That's pretty cool....after reading the article...I kinda would like to take a look at the book and do some research on the history.
