Mrs. William Stolz returned to Michigan from New Jersey convinced her son Jere Baker 23 is actually Vernor Stolz lost on a submarine six years earlier. She had seen Baker’s photo after he was shot down over Tokyo on his 30th mission as a B 29 wing gunner. For two years she wrote letters and doubted his identity. Baker proved himself by noting fingerprints and explaining he lived in New Jersey. Her decisive moment came when she observed his hand and knuckles.
