Elmer, I saw your article in this month's Poop From Group and it made me think of my father, William "Bill" Huegin, who flew missions at the same time. He was Dan Knight's copilot on the Mary Alice, March-June 1944. Your story especially touched me in that about five years ago Dan Knight tried to reach my father(after 60 years)having not seen or heard from him. Unfortunately, the story did not have the same ending, as my dad was killed in an auto accident in 1961. I, however, had the great privilege of communicating with Dan and hearing stories about my dad we never knew. The crew picture on this website was provided by me. I had it in a box,and until that time had no idea what it represented. He never shared that time with me or our family. Would it be possible that you knew or remember my dad? I have some flight logs from Dan that show your name on many missions together. I am really glad you were able to reconnect with your old buddy,and hope to hear from you.
