Well that explains what happened, I have a date of Sept. 30th 1953 for photo date. The event could have occurred in the week or weeks prior I suppose--would be fun if Jimmy Blouch could dig something up from his dispatch records. Or, would this be something that may have been left out of a record like that? Interesting stuff either way.
