That Thurston was my great-great grandfather!!!He was found after the ballooning accident. His name was Alic Thurston (August 05, 1861--March 20, 1955).There is a hot air balloon race in Meadville, Pa going on right now in his honor!The Thurston Classic is held every year at this time from Thursday to Sunday.My whole family goes to the race and one of us goes up each year.We have great pictures of Alic in his balloons and even some pieces of balloon canvas.I finally found the lineage for him. I have now tracked him back to Thomas Thurston and Grace Utting abt. 1590.If you would like some information, I would love to share.
