| Jackie M. Lutz, FL, FL | I have a dollar bill marked short snorter and signed by several men who appear to be crew members. Across the top of the bill is written Trans Pacific Clipper, 11.27.45 at 8000 ft. (I believe the date is correct, altho 45 is hard to read.) One of the signatures looks like Arthur Jo???' the other two are not decipherable.
We would like to give this bill to someone who is a relative of this crew. If you have any information that would be useful, please let us know, altho I don't quite know WHO you are! Regards, Jackie M. 02/24/2005 @ 18:55 [ref: 9524] |
