From the 1960, 1964, 1965, 1976 (in 1976 ZIP Code 12025), 1979, 1981,September 1998, CNAC mail list: Bogardus, Russell fe (only in the 1960 list fe = Flight Engineer) RFD 1, Union Mill Rd. Broadalbin, N. Y. (Ocotber 24, 2000, Edythe Bogardus writes...) Dear Mr. Moore, It's almost 11:00 P.M. and I'm packing to leave for Colorado Springs tomorrow to visit my son, Russell. Nov 6th, I'll be in Carmel, Ca. for a week and then back to Colorado Springs to return home Nov. 15th. Just a note to say Russ expired March 2, 1998. He was one of the original CNAC crew, flying out of Baltimore in 1946. I saw them off along with June Peasley, wife of John Peasley. Russ and John were both Flight Engineers. Two other men have called and written to me for pictures, etc. I haven't gone through Russ's pictures, but will really try this winter when the snow is keeping me home. He was best friends with Joe O'Hare who was a CNAC pilot. When I return home I'll work on this. Edythe October 25, 2001 Edythe says, "By the way, apparently Russ became a CNAC Capt. while in China. Strange." (Can any of you reading this verify the above statement? Help!! And I also received the following letter from Edythe.  "Russ in picture, the picture was very dark. Taken in China."  (What paper - 194?)  "On the back it said," "Shanghai, Sept 1947, Hunjao Airport." (Check back later for additional information from Edythe...) (NOTE: Unfortunately, Edythe passed away March 1, 2015)  or would like to be added to the CNAC e-mail distribution list, please let the CNAC Web Editor know. Thanks! |
