Hera are two photos of my grandfather. He died in 1960, before I was born, but my grandmother always told me he was a privately contracted flight instructor for the military, and at one point Charles Lindbergh was one of his students. My grandmother is no longer alive, so I have no further details, but in reading some of the timeline listed on your web site, it seems as though grandma could heave been correct. I'm not sure I'll every know for sure, but I never knew grandma to lie. In any case, I thought I'd send you the tid bit for what it is or isn't worth.
