Joyce Coomer guesses JIM is from Pellyton area

Joyce M. Coomer writes:
Who is JIM? He has to be from Pellyton area or he wouldn't've known about Garnett. Letho (Garnett's mother) was one of Momma's best friends.

Also, was Mr. Doss the Pellyton correspondent for Adair County News at that time? The only ones I remember were Mr. (Jasper) Doss, Daddy and Momma.

I have a letter Garnett wrote Momma - don't think it tells where he was stationed at the time. - Joyce Coomer
Thanks, Joyce Coomer Good points. I think you are right about the Pellyton Correspondents. Great ones. Maybe JIM or his twin history cousin, Mike Watson, or Ann Curtis would know. They seem to be able to keep up with such things better than I. Speaking for them, and me, would love to share a copy of the letter from S1C Charles Austin Garnett, and perhaps you could find a photo of Adair County hero. And, for those who might have missed it, here's a link to his story by JIM: Freedom isn't free: In memory of S1c Charles Austin Garnett (1924-1943). Thanks. - EW
