Bruce Protto and his wife Debby Wiedemann

This photo was taken on the last day my mother saw Bruce, at the Alameda Naval Air Station in California. My mother used to look at that photo quite a lot so I think it's appropriate as a memorial to both of them.

I'd like to be in touch with persons who knew Bruce or my Mom.

From his wife's daughter,
Cassandra
