Steve,
I have a strange request, but I thought you
might be able to help me. My mom is now 85
years old and in really bad health both
physically and mentally. Recently, she
began telling me a story about her first
love, a Matthew C. Hunter, who she says was
a medic in the Army stationed at Camp
Forrest before he was sent to Europe during
WWII. She said that he was from New
Jersey. She lived in Sewanee in that time.
She had an diamond ring that I believed my
dad had given her, but found out after their
divorce Matthew Hunter had given her this
ring before he had gone off to war. She
told me that he had written her at least one
letter that she knew of, but that her family
had not given her the letter.
Are there records kept of the solders that
were stationed at Camp Forrest and would
there be pictures of these soldiers? I think
a copy of a photo of Matthew would mean a
great deal to my mom at this point of
life. I would be happy to come go through
records if possible.
Thanks for any assistance,
Kathy Bouldin
