"Ralph - Here's one of the photos I was hoping to find. This is of my dad at his adoptive parnet's gravesite. It was taken in the Summer of 1981. My dad (Bernard Gene Bissett) and his second-wife had come down to visit me while I was stationed at Lackland AFB. My dad's birthday had always been a mystery as the courthouse burned down that had all of the applicalbe documents. He did tell me that he had heard a rumor that he was one of many childern and his last name orginally was Tomas or Thompson or something like that. He had been left at an orphange in Oklahoma sometime in the 20's. Thats about all I know. I do know that he had been in the Army Air Corps when I have time I'll see if I can track down some of those records. Please let me know if you learn any more about this. Thanks Elizabeth."
