Amelia,
that could be a great news, I hope you can call her and explain what's going on.
I like search with my metal detector in the place where the US Army was during the WWII.Apropos you can have a look at my web site (www.silviopassalalpi.it), many pages are translate in english. Sometime I go to search with a friend of mine, Giovanni. About ten days ago we went for searching in a area close to Pisa where thousands of US soldier stayed for a long time.
In that place Giovanni found a dog tag belonging to WILBUR E. BIBBITT, serial number 33529147, blood "O", protestant. I wrote Bibbitt it isn't a my mistake, on the dog tag the surname is Bibbitt. Using the serial number on the governative NARA web site, I collected information about Wilbur and I discovered that his correct surname is Bobbitt. That means that tipying the dog tag someone made a mistake and that Wilbur asked for a new one. That's the little story about Giovanni's finding.Have a look to the attachment.
I hope to receive good news soon.
Ciao,
Silvio
