Sgt. Genevese- from NYC. At Kearny Nebraska, he could not take flying and was constantly ill during training.  He went overseas with the Crew.  In Training missions at Thorpe Abbotts, his illness continued and Lt Shoens asked the Squadron CO Ollie Turner for a replacement.  Sgt Edward R. Silverstone was picked from the gunners pool and flew all missions with this crew. Sgt Genevese was transferred to a ground job.  (Bob Shoens, mpf 2001)
