Hello Scott,
Currently doing a PhD on sugar beet genetics, and on the side I enjoy history quite a lot. I found out Hogaboam was a B-17 pilot before ending here. He is also a brilliant scientist and pionneer in producing varieties for USDA shortly after the war. I am extremely curious about the picture you spoke about of the “Hogie’s Heroes”, would you dare sent some of them to me at : augustindesrez@gmail.com ?
Thank you,
Augustin
