Comments: Hi - I'm looking for a Sergeant Henry Ford who headed up the Repair and
Utilities at Seoul City Command in 1952/53. He was from Florida, but
settled in California for at least a few years in the 1960s. He was a good
friend of my husband's grandpa, and was there when my husband's
grandpa adopted a little boy, Christmas of 52. I'm writing a book about
the story and would very much like to speak with Mr. Ford if possible, or
at the very least so find a photograph of him. Any advice would be much
appreciated. Thank you.
