LARRY LEWIS has a PhD in chemistry from Indiana University. He grew up in New York City hearing bits of the history of his father's and uncle's service in World War II, especially the stories from his grandmother Sadie. Larry inherited his grandmother's collection of wartime letters and documents. Once he retired after 32 years at GE Global Research, Larry began his quest to fill in the gaps of the story behind his family's past. He lives in Glenville, NY.
