Subject: [APG] Fw: Need help with 1930 Census Industry
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2008 09:57:38 -0400


Many thanks to Mary, Everett, Virginia, Helen, Laura, Chad, Bob, Katherine
and Kathy for information on the aluminum industry in Two Rivers, WI!
Several of you also mentioned the Wisconsin Maritime Museum in Manitowoc and
the WWII submarine on display. My husband and I will be in Manitowoc and
Kewaunee Counties next week on a genealogy mission. If I can scrape
together some free moments, I would love to take a tour of the sub!

Best regards,
