Thanks, guys. That adds some perspective. I was expecting to learn that Chanor Base Section was made up of a number of regiments or battalions...
I'd asked about this in my other thread, Understanding Dad's Information, but it might have gotten overlooked over there, so I'll reask here if no...
Thanks, Tommy. I can fill in a couple more pieces: Enlisted Reserve Corp was, evidently, what later became the Army Reserves. Discharged...
Adam, just to follow up on the tripod: When they confirmed my appointment, she said that using a tripod was not a problem and no one there seemed...
I've now made two trips to the NPRC and plan to go there again next week. I've been accumulating morning reports, rosters and payroll information...
"blurry" is putting it mildly on some of the cards. I'm of the same mind regarding being a disruption. They didn't mind my taking photographs....
I agree about the tripod. I'm just not sure if they'll frown on taking up more space with it. Drew, do you know if a polarizing filter would...
I'll say! Yeah, you are definitely into a much bigger project than I am. I'm just trying to get as much day-to-day info on my dad as I possibly...
Hi Adam, I spent the day on Friday at the NPRC. It took awhile for the orientation, viewer training and getting to know the index system. I'm...
Actually, I prefer the black and white. The original has the sepia-toned tinting which is what I had scanned. I'll be having that original...

Drew, That is some truly outstanding work. The crease may have even been a tear. Someone had the print dry mounted, probably because of the...
I hadn't seen this thread until now. Excellent work! I uploaded the replacement file this morning and just set it for sharing so you should have...
Yeah, taking it to a FedEx/Kinkos shop sounds like a good idea as long as they can make a good copy. I thought about setting up a camera on a...
Today I got a copy of Dad's unit photograph. It's in a cheap frame which is too large for it and needs to be replaced with something more...
I just checked Amazon: $66.67. There are a few used copies on ebay but my library has a copy on hold for me to pickup next week. :clap:
That's pretty remarkable, andrwoo. Like I said, I've tried doing things like that in GIMP (Photoshop-like free software) and can't get anything...
Got it.
I do. Actually about an hour away, the other end of town.
His docs say blue and brown but I recall more gray (maybe slightly blue?) eyes and black or very dark brown hair.
