Newspaper clipping
Jack Evans was Wm.D. (Bill) MacMonagle's close friend. My father, Ken Dressler, and Jack Evans went to Canada to volunteer. Ken eventually joined the USAAF flying gliders, my father flew Sterling bombers, and Jack joined the Eagle Squadron. This clip from the Akron Beacon journal in 1942 shows how well liked Jack was and that my father remembered him fondly.
