I am so proud to have had an Uncle on the Henrico, but since my Grandparent's death, we have little information about my uncle, Kenneth Bruce Widener. We were told that he died in Korea due to a broken neck. That's about all we know. I would love to correspond with anyone that knew him. My Regards, Rose Daniels, Thank you for your time!
