Raoul Lufbery Funeral- living veterans

Dear All, I have just returned from Florida where I interviewed a 100 year old American veteran of Co L, 101st Infantry, 26th division. This Division spent 205 days at the front, the second longest stay at the front of any US division. the Ist Division was there only two weeks longer. The man I met had a spectacular memory. One of his most notable stories was how he served as one of the honor gaurd that fired a 21 gun slute at Lufberry's funeral. He sai that during the service a German plane flew over and dropped flowers. He commented that "those pilots might have tried to kill each other but they had a lot of respect for each other." He said his picture was published in a Boston Newspaper along with the others of the honor guard at the funeral. I would be interested to hear if anyone has seen this picture and also if anyone knows of other veterans I could interview. I am continuing to seek out veterans for a documentary and welcome any leads. Thanks to all, Kirk Goolsby 6772 Foster's Fork Road, #1 Warrenton, VA 20187 USA kgoolsby@gmu.edu (540)341-7878
