In the band
The Remember When that sparked the memory ran June 21, and featured two photos submitted by Bob Davis of Towamencin. A formal shot showed Alan Yost and Davis; and the other showed Harry Schmeig, Herb Metz, Yost and Davis, all former military men, as they worked at a parking lot at the shore.
Today we feature a photo of Nancy’s brother, Ernest Benner, and friend Bob Davis in the winter of 1944-45.
According to Jones, Ernest had just become a second lieutenant in the Army Air Corps when the photo was snapped.
And, as a little change of pace, we’re also featuring a photo from the September 1946, “North Penn Photo Revue,” which was produced to honor the area’s service men and women who had served in World War II.
Here you see members of the 28th Navy Seabees Battalion’s orchestra.
Paul Bongart, who was from Colmar, is featured as the accordionist in the group.
