Added by Joan Bartz:
"Whitey" was my dad's best friend and they entered the service at the same time. They had vowed to stay together, but my dad went into the Army whereas Whitey's choice ensured that he would be sent to the Pacific theater. He was shot by a sniper soon after arriving there. (I had never known that he was originally buried elsewhere.)
He also is a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family. His father and my maternal great-grandmother (Bessie E Adams Thompson) were brother and sister.
