It is evident in these photos that Edward was indeed close to his family throughout his service in the Navy. His letters showed his committment to the Catholic faith handed down from his parents as he reported in most letters that he was receiving communion and attending services.
These photos show that while taking leave from his ship it was important for Ed to vist his family. I can imagine the pride his parents must have felt for him and his brother Stanley who also joined the Army during the war. Now it was time to have his own family.
Rebecca (Becky) will hopefully confirm where her and her mom went after Ed had to go back for duty. Records show that Ed came from Phila., PA. on leave to Colesburg and that in May he was stationed in Norfolk Va. The document I have lists Ed's permanent address as 2811 S. 3rd St. Louisville, Ky. I wonder if that was Glady's family address.
I will edit these photos at a later date and add names.
