Thank you for that message Alfred, I have recently entered cyberspace and am currently surfing the web for the first time, it is wonderful. Yes it seems that so far Norman Cota is the name in my family that I can link with other family members. From what I understand, he was a General during WWII and was portrayed by Robert Mitchum in the movie The Longest Day. I will take your suggestion on contacting Fran Cota Johnson, bye for now ED Moch.
