Contact Ted “Boots” Hinton at the B&C Museum, Gibsland, LA. He could authenticate it for you, and would probably offer to buy it from you! He’d really rather know who your Grandmother was.

Comment on Futurliner: Vehicle from the Parade of Progress by Kenneth S Hough

Hello, I grew up around Detroit, and I remember as a kid at a GM car lot off of 7 mile and Grandriver, Rd. There were these two giant airplane looking trucks that were parked behind their lot. I wanted my parents to stop and see what they were. But all I got was shut up and sit back, so I never did get to see what they were, and has haunted me all this time in the back of my mind. Until I was online looking at old bus’s, and came across one that I was sure was the ones I remember as a kid. Thank you for coming a cross these photos. Are there any still on the road or had they all been scraped? Sure would like to see one up close and in person. Thank you for your time. Ken Hough, Palmetto, Fl

Doug, You handle words as adroitly as a master mechanic handles his tools. Great film review.

This is a great way to get some preliminary information as far as a relative or ancestor’s military service.Military research is an exciting tool for understanding one’s family history and uncovering the mysteries surrounding a veteran’s service. In addition to using online records I recommend actually tracing the footsteps of individual veterans during wartime showing where they were and what they did throughout the war. This process can help to uncover one’s military heritage and preserve the memory of our heroic soldiers during wartime. I recommend also researching personnel records like unit rosters, morning reports, and medical records which are often not available online and which can uncover a wealth of knowledge about a veteran’s service.

Very nice, My Dads family is from Jingle town, The Muge / lazoya /Esparza family. I have heard a lot of stories from my Dad and my uncle Charlie Muge. My granmother worked the canneries and was able to buy quite a few houses there.
