Holloman Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted December 13, 2006 A bunch- from 1941-1975ish. This one was Harold K. Johnson. She also worked for Abrams. Grandma was hailed as "the best damn secretary in the Army" by more than a handful of 4- Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a whole scrapbook full of letters and notes he sent during the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APO472 Posted January 3, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 3, 2007 [attachmentid=2512 Neat items. Jan, that "Mission Accomplished" is a tough book to come by as I am sure you know. Below is probably one of my favorite paper items that I have. It was given to me by him a few years ago. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Wouters Posted January 3, 2007 Share #12 Posted January 3, 2007 Damn that's one hell of a nice paper APO472 ! About the 'Mission Accomplished' : I had a little bit of luck since i could buy it with 'Buy it now' for 100€ (=120$ or something). Unfortunatly it's missing the dust cover.
