Sent to me by Jim and his friend:

Jim,

 

The attached pics show where the Curtis's plaque is located. It originally was a very prominent location, but now, as you can see it is sort of hidden by the new pavilion the city has erected. I am going to try to get it moved.

Please forward this to your mailing list.

 

Jack

Here's a website photo of the plaque. It's easier to read here, than the photo below.

Jim,

Great picture of our Division monument to Curtis Shoup. Mitch Kaidy and

I designed, built and installed that plaque about 7-8 years ago. The men of

the division donated about $2500 it cost. It was dedicated on Memorial Day

with a very impressive ceremony. Bob Watson, Curtis's comanding officer,

and a friend --they both grew up in Oswego --- gave the dedication speech.

I was by the site a couple of months ago and was angry at what the town has

done. The plaque is now partially hidden by a large stage they have

erected. I intend to get back there soon and talk the the mayor. I'll send

you a picture of what it looks like now.

How did you come across this picture?
