Thanks For
Help
Dear Editor:
A million thanks for all The Kentucky Explorer has done to help
me with my requests of finding information on Kate Highlander
Bretz, James Bretz, and Viola Highlander Martin.
A lady by the name of Rebecca Mullins saw my request in the magazine
and was very helpful.
I thank her and everyone who had a part in this.

On P-47 Crash
In Johnson County In 1948
Dear Editor:
I am interested in hearing from anyone who has personal knowledge
about the crash of the P-47 on March 28, 1948, in Eastern Kentucky.
In this crash Harry Stewart, a veteran of 43 wartime missions,
was flying over Eastern Kentucky, passing through a thunderstorm.
Rather than risking an unexpected rendezvous with a mountain
top, he elected to bail out.
The aircraft crashed into a hilltop overlooking the home of the
soon-to-be-famous country singer Loretta Lynn, exploding and
leaving a crater ten-to-15-feet deep. Stewart floated down over
the Kentucky coal mining town of Van Lear, Johnson County.
Any information would be appreciated.

I would like to have a recipe for making old-fashioned brine
pickles and any kind of good crock pot recipes.

Searching
For Old Friend
Dear Editor:
We are searching for Vernetta Goble, an old friend. We do not
know who she married, but the last we heard anything about her
she was in Lexington, Kentucky. Her parents were Nelson and Mollie
Goble.
If any reader has any information, please feel free to contact
us.
