When Taos native Donna Boyd began the process of pursuing a family history project, she did not realize it would lead to friendship with a museum curator in a foreign country and a glimpse into the character of an uncle killed before she was born.
"I heard stories about my uncle's military service and was researching information on him for a project I was working on," stated Boyd.
She soon located an online blog containing information regarding the crash site of an American plane during World War II. The blog showed photographs of a museum display in Takachiho, Japan, containing information about her uncle's service.
