For instance, I received a letter from a Mr. Albert King of Surprise, AZ. He was a tent mate of Jack's and sent me the names of two other men in the tent with them, ie,
McDonald, of Providence, RI
Lowell McKee, of Pleasant Hill, IL
Can anyone help me locate these men? Mr King said they spent most of their spare time playing baseball and football. When it was raining they played pinochle.
