World War II

Centralia men on their way to military duty.  This picture was taken July 1942 in the 100 block of E. Broadway.  Can you name any of these men?  My Uncle, John E. (Jack) Pick is in the front row 4th from the right.  If you can name any of these men, write me at marionco@yahoo.com   Be sure to put WWII in the subject line so I know which picture your are referring to.
