Connie two things come to mind from dad's conversations about Tn. One the best part was that he and others would go on the weekends to the Ryman Theater/Auditorium in Nashville. Men in uniform got in for free. Dad was a huge! country music fan.
And there was stationary with "Tennessee Maneuvers" on it's letterhead. What I have is that list of names to match the uniform picture taken in May '44 at Camp Attbry before they left. Dad said 1/2 of those men wound up in D-Day the other Battle of the Bulge. I had taken your list, from your dad's dresser, matched it up with names on the Tn/Camp Attbry photo list, matching still against a Jim list, but need to clean it up a bit before passing onto you and Jim. I'll go ahead and send to you in your regular email for now.
Also dad had some photos taken during that time period. Some are already up under 590th Sv Unit/about (link's not working right now however). During dad's bypass recoup time, I had sat with him to go over as much info that I knew he had, finding more after his death last fall. I'll pass all that i have scanned also. Dad either wrote or said they were not suppose to have cameras, but someone did. Actually the edges are different on the photos, so more than one person must have taken pictures.
