I'm starting something new on the website - biographies.  Here's your chance to tell your life story.  It doesn't have to be all that long - just summarize your life, likes, dislikes, etc.  If you have any interesting stories to tell, include these as well.  I've created an example for you to follow - Frederic E. Glantzberg - yes, the Commanding Officer talked about so much.  These biographies will be linked into the name of the individual in the Roster of the 461st BG.  When writing your biography (or one for a friend or relative) cover your entire life - bring everyone up to date on what you did before becoming a member of the 461st and what you did after the war.  I would recommend avoiding personal information such as address and phone number.  Send them to me and I'll post them on the website.
