William L Frese was the navigator on the Lester Brown Crew. His grandson sent these two photos. This photo was taken in Italy in 1945 after recently being released from a POW camp.
In the below photo, Lester Brown is second from the right and William Frese is on the left end.
The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.
At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.
Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.
