<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 1857, member: 59&quot;]I was having a tough time understanding how Willson and Meissner could have any connection, especially after reading the Birmingham AL information Susan posted that implied the Meissner spent his childhood there. And I do know that Wikipedia is fraught with veracity issues - but the Wiki page about him says he &quot;grew up in Brooklyn&quot; and graduated from Erasmus Hall HS there.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Armand_Meissner" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Armand_Meissner" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Armand_Meissner</a></p><p><br /></p><p>So, since Willson was living in Brooklyn when Meissner was in HS (he was born in 1896 so high school would have been around 1910 - 1914) I wonder if they knew each other - neighbors maybe, or maybe he was a friend of Cleo&#039;s? It just seems otherwise quite improbable that a hobbyist photographer would travel all the way to Alabama to take his picture (assuming that&#039;s him in the pilot&#039;s seat in the photo.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
