at the age of 90.

At about the same time of Bruce's passing, a group of Italian
Researchers
for the National Archive of Cremona, Italy dicovered the Crash Site of
Bruce's WW II P-47 and positively Identified it as his plane from the
serial
numbers on pieces and parts of the plane which were still intact. It is

their goal to:

1) To write the history of the air attacks accomplished by the Allied
Air
Forces over the Department of Cremona, from July 1944 to April 1945.
2) To reconstruct the true history of each plane which crashed in the
same
zone, during the war - They are 22:
3) Three villages in the Department of Cremona are planning the
construction of memorial stones dedicated to Allied airmen who lost
their lives during
the war.

They would like to have a Photo of Lt. Bruce Fulton to ADD to their
story
for THEIR Archives.

Bruce W. Fulton was buried on Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:00 PM at
Forest
Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, in Erlanger, Kenton County, KY.

IF you have a copy of the 1937 yearbook & can find the Photos of Bruce &

Ralph Fulton, would you PLEASE scan them and e-mail them to me? I will
make sure they get to the Italian Researchers.
