WWII Monday Round-Up

by Rana Williamson

There are three items for the round-up today that sat in my RSS reader all week. All involve specific individuals - a pilot believed lost, a man who went to war at 32, and the death of a war correspondent:

“Deep Regret for WWII Fighter Pilot Premature” from The Plain Dealer - The story of a son, James Frolking, lost and returned and the memories of the 83-year-old man he is today.

World War II Vet Marks 100th Birthday from the Dothan Eagle - Glenn Marble had a quiet time of the war and was known to his shipmates at 32 as “the old man.”

Correspondent Russell J. Hill; Covered WWII and Postwar Europe from the Washington Post - The obituary for Hill, 88, a war correspondent for the New York Herald Tribune and noted author.
