    Hi my name is Michelle and I am the the granddaughter of John H. kirshstein. I am so proud and thankful that he and his fellow passengers that did not make it that day, wont be forgotten... I lost my grandmother, his widow, last year. She really would have appreciated this had I found it sooner..

    Stewardess Toni Ketchell's mother, Mrs. Frank Ketchell, with Newport Politician John "TV" Pelouso.
    What a great site. I was only 7 years old, but remember seeing the crash site from River Road in Ohio as though it was only yesterday. It is an image that stays with you for a very long time. I never really understood what happened until years later reading the NTSB accident report. The interview with the passsenger/pilot was quite.... to say the least. We later drove along Rt. 8 and could look up and see the tail section standing out of the woods. The spot in the hillside was visible for many years. I always looked over at it whenever I was in the area. Years later nature has covered the area more than I can spot it now. I would never guess the way the terrain is looking at it from a distance. It is wonderful that, though so many years away, some one has finally made a memorial to the victims of the major air crashes in the Greater Cincinnati area. I intend on returning to your web site and really go over the picture in depth.Thank you for your time. Jeff Wood

    Aeronca Suspended in Lunken's Terminal
    I was told this Aeronca was once owned by Harley Snook of Reynoldsburg,OH. He used it to take his wife on their honymoon from Norton Field in Columbus.

    My father Gary Laubstein was killed in that crash. He was 35 years old. I was 3 at the time, my brother was 8. It is amazing that a site like this exists. Even though it was hard to look at the photos of the crash site, it does give me some closure. Thank- you

    Dayton at Night
    I remember picking up my aunt at the front of the Third National Building (lit up - center).  It's been, since that time, a great architectural favorite.  Years later, I briefly held a delivery job Downtown and delivered regularly to the building.
    I do recall my aunt's desk.  It had a window looking out into the light court -- therefore, a view of other windows.  It's a terrific edifice.
    Marvelous night picture -- including, even, the Gem City Savings clock.  I had just missed the original Winter's National Bank Building -- moving to Dayton in the early 70's.

    This is where the Stephens' house was located on November 20, 1967. It burned down in 1973.
    Thank you for the photographs.  I am a truck driver who regularly visits an industrial park off Hwy 20 in Hebron, and I've seen the historical marker sign about this airline crash.  I am glad that others have taken the time and trouble to document the scene and post the pictures on the internet so I can learn more about it. The Stephens' did a great job of stepping up and doing the right thing to help others in this disaster.
