Charles T Slotter
MilitaryCharles T Slotter served as a reconnaissance photographer in England during WWII.
'Mr. Slotter told his family he was terribly homesick overseas, but once he got over that, he bought a used bike to tour England.
"You could take a bike on the railroad with you. I think I still have a ticket that never got collected. In Manchester, I rode a double-decker streetcar," his family said he told them.'
