Especially interested in kidney dialysis, hemorrhagic fever, medical treatments and problems related to cold weather. Every donation will be acknowledged in the exhibit. We can copy and return photographs and documents. (Yes, we know about the great exhibit at the National Museum of Medicine and Health in Washington, DC.)

I am his sister, and like so many others, I am interested in finding anyone who knew him. He never spoke about the war much, except to say that he was in a flash flood, sandbagged and set dynamite to blow up a bridge, which he volunteered to do - when UN was ready to pull out of Korea in early spring, 1951.
