Melvin was my mother´s cousin. I seldom saw him but I remember him as a good looking man with a warm smile and a kind voice. He generously gifted a small photo album containing family photos to a person in our family. However, because all those of his generation are gone, and the photos are unmarked, we are having trouble determining who the people are. If you think you can help, we would be happy to share photos online. Sincerely, Jean Fairchild, (Eleanor O´s daughter)

Mel and I have been the best of friends since early 1940. Even more so after we graduated from Foreman High School in February 1941. We lost touch somewhat during the war years and when our kids where in school but came together again in 1980. Wes
