Dear Mike,
I think I can help a little bit here. I looked on a group photo of my Dad's from St.Louis, and, amazingly, sitting next to him is T/Sgt. Dick Garney from New York. I re-typed the names from the back of the photo, but I think they are pretty accurate. I sent this picture to you awhile ago, but I am attaching it now, just in case. I'll be sending more photos soon. I hope this helps.
Mary Lou Rattay (Bill Fogle's daughter)
