For those just tuning you can read about the Benjamin Pollard story that was posted earlier this year  here.

Mark Hakvoort of Hollands Kroon, in the Netherlands in their quest to honor and  to remember the aircraft and crews perished there during World War II contacted me about Pollard. You can learn more from their website here 

One of those who perished was Benjamin Pollard, whose body would eventually be brought back to the United States and buried in the Lassen Cemetery, Susanville. It was Mr. Hakvoort’s goal to locate descendants. Since that initial post we have been able to locate numerous family. Pollard has a niece who resides in France. On October 5th they will be holding remembrance ceremony for Pollard in the Netherlands and his niece plans to attend. I was thrilled that a connection could be made.
