Longer biographical information and a military photo (small <300kb size, not MB please) also can be submitted.
-Also collecting stories of personal memories of what EP was like, in the 1950s, before the EPVME and East Shore Expressway (ESE) were constructed. Where are the houses now that were moved to build the expressways?
- Updating the list of the 2125 EP High School Student names who served in WWII
The names were written in cursive and volunteers are sought to help decipher some of the name spellings. Inquire and the latest typed lists will be emailed to you to edit.
Six pages of names are missing. Thus, trying to fill in the last names ending with the letters G, O, and X. Please submit names. Or help research via looking through Crimson yearbooks. These yearbooks are on-line and at the city library.
Searching for a public location to display this list of 2125 EP high school veterans' names. Suggestions welcome.
