A mystery trunk conjures stories of the skies over Europe during WWII
2014
Overview
[Jaime Steve] was able to find contact information for Rogers in Santa Barbara, Calif., but when Jaime phoned in April, the flying ace's wife, Catherine, said he had passed away just a few weeks earlier at the age of 92 at Walter Reed. She put Jaime in touch with the general's children, two of whom Stephen Rogers and Ginna Rogers-Gould live in the Washington area. \"They probably just couldn't take everything they had with them to the overseas posting,\" Ginna said. \"What I'm guessing is they just asked Ace if they could store a locker there, and then it became forgotten.\" \"When I started to go through it, it just was like it was a gift from heaven,\" Ginna said. \"It was almost like my dad's hand reaching out to his family and saying: 'Don't forget some of the things I taught you. Don't forget what it is to be an American.' \"
