One of my favorite Buckeyes! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed! We’re thankful to Mike and the WPM team!
This is VERY cool. Really enjoyed Mr. Diaz.
He’s fantastic!
He moved to Christainsburg Ohio before the war. Work in Urbana Ohio. Was appointed to WP from Ohio.
Amazing jacket!
It was so great to see!
The coat is grey and has sleeves it is like the current ones but in terms of how the coat is cut and fits it is very very different from those used today.
