Sam Consolo 540th Combat Engineer Co B, is looking for the following good friends, also from Co B.
James V Stowell Jr
Arthur Cortz (not sure of spelling)
Gregory Castor (again, not sure of spelling)
If you have any information, please contact me and I will get in touch with Sam and his daughter Joan.
Thanks for your help.

Guess what? Joan just called and said she found pics of her father-in-law and his buddies in my photo gallery. I didn't even realize I had them. They are in Paul McGee's folder. How thrilling. I will look that up and post here too, shortly. Joan, thanks for calling and making my night even more special!

Joan said her dad just loved seeing this and has a really big smile on his face tonight. Can't tell you how happy this makes me too. :pdt12:

And as you can see, the man on the top left is Arthur Cordts, once of the men he was looking for. Well it's a start, for we have Sam and Arthur in a pic together. Wonderful, wonderful.
Oh and I just gave Joan, Paul McGee's daughter's email address, so they can correspond too. :bluejumper:

James V. Stowell Jr. shows as entering service from Monroe, NY and I see he lived in Elmira for a while. Those are places to start looking for him or his family.
