She may be the niece of Carl Shaffer. I have reached out to the gmail account on the churches website to ask her to contact me in regards to Carl Shaffer.

Now that I'm here, I see that I can email the Chief Rick Stone Foundation directly also. <br /><br />I have a group photo from Grace Lutheran Church from Easter 1936 that may have Carl Shaffer in it. (I scanned photos from the Historical Society for the Legendary Locals book, but didn't use all of them.) According to Newspapers.com, Mr. Shaffer and his wife, Helen Fox, both grew up on Charlotte Street nearby and were married at Grace Lutheran, so I'm assuming they were church members. The photo from 1936 looks like it may be of a choir or youth group. Once the Chief Rick Stone and Family Foundation gets the Pottstown on Parade photo, maybe this photo can provide additional corroboration or detail if he is in the photo and can be identified. <br /><br />Anyway, I sent all this info and the photo to John Armato and will now send to the Foundation. Hope it helps!<br /><br />Sue RepkoSue Repkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285791050771074931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385359808043148998.post-84181304582649066542017-04-23T18:17:39.914-04:002017-04-23T18:17:39.914-04:00Sp pleased to hear it.

We have copies of the old Pottstown on Parade magazines, they featured pictures of men from Pottstown killed in WWII. I'll make sure to contact either John Armato or the organization.
