I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to ask this. [I have NO
clue where else I COULD.]
My mother is in her 80s. Her brother died nearly three decades ago. In
addition to searching our family tree, she is trying to write up detailed
'life stories' of those that she knew well.
She recently discovered that her brother had won a free plane flight back
in 1953 for (apparently) some writing or presentation to the Boy Scouts.
She tried contacting the Boy Scout museum in Texas only to find that the
1953 issue of their paper that might contain the answer to her question
was the ONLY year around that time that they did not have available.
So... her question is: How did 13 year old Bill Monahan win the Boy Scout
Jamboree prize of an across-country flight in a jet plane in 1953?
She said that she would pay $25 to the first person who could
definitively get her this information (possibly with a scan of the paper
if possible, or other source), and her e-mail address for that response
is: Patmonaghan522@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
if this is not an appropriate place to ask this, I sincerely
apologise.
Thank you VERY much for any assistance with this.
