Memorial in log cabin for missing war pilot Frank Camp
Boyle Column describes a log cabin home built by Frank Camp’s father near Roaring Spring Pa to honor the missing in action fighter pilot. The piece recalls Frank’s Tunisia service, a hoped return, and the family’s ongoing grief as relatives visit the cabin and remember him with his portrait above the fireplace. The narrative ends with a poignant portrait of a son never seen again.
