My grandfather, Jack Milton is also in this book. My dad has a copy of it also and I am working on writing a biography for my grandfather. However, finding information about him is proving very difficult.

We are thrilled to find this copy of this class book. Beverly's father, James R. Butler, is on pdf page 34, and his friend Barlow Brown is on pdf page 33. They were "best men" for each other's wedding, Browns' just before they left Blackland, and Butlers just after they arrived at Gowen Field in Boise for B-17 transition. Butler flew 54 missions in the 301st BG in the Mediterranean theater, and remained in the AAF/USAF after the war until he was killed in a B-26 accident flying out of Biggs AFB in 1949. Brown flew in the 388th BG out of England, was shot down on 6 Sep 1943, and interned in Switzerland until the end of the war. He lived in Seattle until 1980.
Many thanks for collecting these materials and making them available.
Dan
