My uncle Jay Ossiander is currently living with his son in Atlanta, Georgia. They will be moving to California soon. Have you been in contact with him since this posting? Are you still trying to find him? I don't have his current address or phone number but can obtain it if still needed.

Dear Robert,
I have just found a message from you on the internet posted in 2000. Unfortunately your e-mail address is not valid anymore. Hopefully my message will reach you this way.
If you are still interested I would be happy to share information with you on Cyril Braund and his crew and the B-17 42-107075. I had the opportunity to know Cyril for a few years. Unfortunately he passed away a couple of years ago. In 1996 we walked the crash site in the Swiss alps together and picked up pieces of his "Champagne Girl".
If you are interested in more information or photos please let me know.
Best regards,
Stefan Naef

Merci d'avance de votre réponse.
