There's a Paul Hrywnak Sr. 88 years old, and a Paul Hrywnak Jr 54 years old. May be the brother/nephew.

Haha, thank you so much for the info, but wouldn't you know it...Hrywnak & Silverstein are the two that we have already been in contact with.

I was looking on "Find a Grave" the other night, but it looks like one of the soldiers next-of-kin we may have missed by about 2-3 years.

I am really excited to talk to Larry and see what he can shed on this. We have certainly done a lot so far with the information of the crash & the photos. A team also located the crash site late last year with artifacts still present on the land.

Just such a tragedy and shame that nothing or very little is known by the US & Australian public for such a horrific accident.

Regards,
Matt
