In reply to the discussion: WWII mystery [View all]frogmarch
(12,153 posts)8. OMG
I just came upon a photo of the staff of the 94th Station Hospital in India, which is where Maybelle Hostetter served - and my dad is in the picture! I don't see a person who resembles Maybelle Hostetter in the photo. Does anyone here see her?
EDIT: I take that back. Maybelle is the middle woman in the front row. (I used a magnifying glass to look at both photos.) I wonder if Colonel Anderson is also in this photo...?
My dad is in the middle of the top row, 5th from either right or left.
(Off-topic, but I was born around that time at the 159th Station Hospital, Karachi, Sindh Desert).
