I am the son of bill & ann melofchik. I had always wondered why my father had taken the name "Gerard" when he entered the Christian Brothers community. Was Gerard the son of one of my father's brothers?? Steve, Mike,Lou or John?? My father passed away, May 15,1991.
You are talking genealogy on a Bomb Group site. We do not have a Crew photo for him either. Might you or someone else have a photo of the crew from the states or from his base in England.
