I am Lane’s sister-in-law. Dianne, who was Lane’s wife is still living in the area if you would like more information on Lane.

Kathie,
As you can see. I always ask for pictures of these Brave Men as they were growing up and with Family. I can tell the stories of their Military time. I also ask for stories whether they be funny or just what the Man was thinking. If his wife has a photo of him and her that would be great. If she wishes, I may also be able to find another soldier who served with him. I did not. I was there in 68-69. I want to honor these Brave Men but I need help. If anyone wishes to write a story or send pictures please that to pcbnamin@verizon.net. Thank you for your comment.
