Carrie Hewitt Choquette has shared pictures she took at the unveiling of Bovina's re-installed World War II Honor Roll on Saturday (November 3) and has let me share some of them with you. And I got another phone call today with information about another veteran on the roll, Wilbur VerNooy (misspelled as VanNooy on the honor roll). His sister Erma Martin from South Kortright was somewhat surprised that he was on the Bovina roll, but I did find that in 1940 he was living on Mountain Brook, working as a hired hand for John and Bernice Stewart. Wilbur passed away in 1975 and is buried in New Jersey.
