Help!!! Anybody know this man? We are not sure of the spelling of his name??? BUT, I'm abbout 98% sure that Pellegrine is correct, I think...lol Until February 29, 2020, I had several versions of this mans name: Pelegrini, Pellegren, Pellegrin, Pelegrin, Pellegrin -- very confusing, but now..oh, well you get my drift... AT LAST!!! I owe Jim's children, Robert and Barbara a BIG thank you, as they confirmed the correct spelling as: "Pellelgrine"... We're pretty sure he was ground crew, but...??
