Dear Editor:

I am one of Ray Hauptman's two daughters, Linda L. (Hauptman) Flanigan. I can verify the spelling of his name:

Raymond Marshall Hauptman

He died October 13th, 1971, at the age of 51, and the address you have was his last address. His death was due to natural causes. At the time of his death he was employed as a corporate pilot for Scott Paper Company out of the Phila. Int'l. Airport. Yes, he flew Pan Am routes in Africa and the Hump for CNAC.

Sorry to say I am not much of an historian. I do have old scrapbooks and will go thru these at some point. Let me know if you desire further information. Did you by chance know him?

Yours truly,

Linda
