The story started with finding house numbers on a porch step on an old baby photo. It has ended with finding a house we rented in WWII while dad amputated war wounded at McCloskey General Hospital as an orthopedic surgeon & Captain in the US Army. Special thanks to Nancy Daniel & Patricia Benoit for helping me find this chapter in our family life!

Historian and former Hillcrest Cemetery Manager as well as columnist for the Temple Daily Telegram, Patricia Benoit, wrote this book on Temple. It includes a chaper on McCloskey General Hospital, now the Texas A&M teaching hospital. I've been very happy to become acquainted with her; she shared some WWII articles & phos of patients in 1945.
