The image of Sam was cut off in the picture of the Tetzlaff crew,
but here is a picture of him shortly before he passed away in 1997.
Frank Weiner's picture was cut out of the crew photo above,
but here's one of him as an aviation student.
Andrew John Anderson was
the son of Evelyn and Irving Anderson. He was born on July 21,
1921, in Franklin, Renville County, Minnesota.
He evidently had a lot of problems after the war from what we’d now call
PTSD. His family didn’t really understand it and that made
things difficult for him for awhile. He did end up living a long
and fruitful life after the war, he got a job at Glander Washed Sand and
Gravel Company in LeSueur and did well for himself. In 1950 he did
go back into the Air Force after he married his first wife Alice Wiersma
in 1950 and he was then stationed in Seattle. He and Alice would
have two daughters and a son. Andy died in Kewaunee, Wisconsin, on
July 22, 2000, and was buried in the Franklin cemetery in December 2003.
