| Hello: <br/> <br/> I am a distant cousin of William L. Carpenter of Guyton, Georgia.  Bill was a Tail Gunner in the crew of 1st Lt G.L. La Fevor,  614th Bomb Squadron. <br/> <br/> He died this past Sunday, June 29, 2008, at the VA Hospital in Dublin, Georgia.  <br/> [http://www.legacy.com/Savannah/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=112530097|http://www.legacy.com/Savannah/Obituari ... =112530097]<br/> <br/> I met Bill about 20 years ago when I was a teenager, and he showed me and my dad his flight jacket and told us all about his war experiences.  Meeting him and hearing about him flying over the English Channel on D-Day made a great impression on me.    <br/> <br/> God rest him.   <br/> <br/> With kindest regards, <br/> <br/> Ramona Bartos <br/><br/><br/>

| Hello<br/> <br/> My dad was on the crew with Mr. Carpenter.  His name was Russell E. Bilyeu.  He passed away back in 1981.<br/> <br/> Since it has been so long ago, we don't have a lot of information on Dad's crew.  He did talk about "Carpie" when he was alive.  I guess that I would love to hear any stories or information about the La Fevor crew.<br/> <br/> I am sorry for the loss of Mr. Carpenter and wish I had a chance to talk to him.<br/> <br/> <br/> GLB <br/><br/><br/>
