| I am a new member of the 401st BGA. My dad is John W. Spellman (Co-pilot/pilot). I am a free-lance writer and I would like to do an article about a WWII chaplian. Does anyone know if the 401st had a chaplain and, if he is still living, how I may reach him?<br/>

| I am the next generation... Ward Fellows, a former chaplain of the group, died a few years ago.  I'm sure he wasn't the only chaplain, but he was the only one I can recall from the reunions...  Hopefully you'll get some more feedback on this.<br/>

| There were two chaplains with the 401st:  Ward J. Fellows was the protestant chaplain and Joseph H. Burke was the Roman Catholic chaplain.  Prior to 1976, my dad visited Fr. Burke who was living at a retirement home for retired priests.  His health was fair at that time, but I'm sure he must have died by now.<br/> <br/> There are short write-ups and a photo for each on this web site.  On the main page click &quot;Gallery.&quot;  Scroll down the page to a listing named &quot;Leaders.&quot;  The chaplains are 5th and 6th above the last listing of Leaders.<br/>
