Every effort was made by the staff of the Union County Public Library to keep the integrity of the original scrapbook. Spelling and grammar were NOT altered from their original form. Layout was altered to accommodate the Internet format.

Additional notes:  Recent research indicates that Pvt. Goodman's parents were Charles 'Charlie' Levi Goodman and Johnnie Goodman (Johnnie being her name). His unit in WWII was Company C, 820th Tank Destroyer Battalion.  His WWII draft registration card gives his county of birth as Stanly (NC).  -pmp 6/5/2012
