World War II Hero Ted Fahrenwald

This is a great story about a Beverly man shot down over France after Normandy. It mentions he attended Clissold and the Morgan Park Academy.

The Fahrenwald home was the Frank Lloyd Wright home at 9910 Longwood. My brother (Mal Hepburn, '60) was friends with Andy Fahrenwald and spent a lot of time in that house.

We have discussed the family on our Yahoo page. Based on news articles we now think that the home Will discussed was the home of the brother of Ted Fahrenwald.
