For some reason the Willard Hotel sounds very familar to me . I wonder if you can tell me if it was open and running as a hotel with dinning, function facilties in mid 1945? If so did they host any celebrations celebrating the end of ww11 etc.
I'm asking this strange question because I have an old photo which may have been taken there, and maybe by my dad(deceased in 1952).In this photo were several folks whom I'm trying to find decendents of so I can(if they don't have copies and want them)get copies made and send to them.
Folks in photo were, besides my mother Margaret Nelson
Mildred Lynch, Bob Brickman, Mr & Mrs Wilson(no given names)
and one or two other folks.Mildred was alone as was Bob Brickman. Don't know if either were married etc. Have no further inf on them or their families, where they were from etc.
Wonder if photo ran in any newspapers or was it just a private photo .My dad wasn't in it which leads me to feel he took it--he was a very good amateur photographer.
Date probably between June and Aug 1945.
