Hello,

My name is Kevin Pearson. My grandmother is Iris Hall, maiden name Iris Little, married to Les Hall. I have recently acquired several items from Mr. Hall's time with the Flying Tigers including his CNAC flask, crusher cap, antique mah jong set and several other antiques from Asia. Im interested in learning more about my step-grandfather. Please e-mail with any info.

Thank You,

Kevin
