Eugene Lee Hammer was my first cousin. His father was Russel Lee hammer born in Rockingham County, Va. June 26, 1894. I had a picture of your Mother, Martha, and you [very small picture] just after you were born, it must have been 1942, but lost track of Gene shortly after that.I will look and see if I can still find it. I do have a picture of your Dad.
You Dad has a half brother living in Northeast, Md. who can probably give you more information on you Dad than I can. I did know Gene was forced to marry an girl at thesecond Army Air Base he was stationed at having gotten her pregnant. Reply to me at: [email protected] me your address and I will have H.B. [your Dad's half brother] short for Henry Bishop [which was Russel's Dad's name too]contact you.
Is your Mother still alive?
I could not tell much from her picture except her hair was dark brown and she appeared to be about my size 5' 2". [At that time] Sincerely, Loretta Anderson [Hammer]
