The remarkable story of a Tucsonan's search for his uncle's remains takes us from Tucson to northern California, and then to New Orleans.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The remarkable story of a family's attempt to recover the remains of a missing uncle and World War II veteran takes us from Tucson to northern California, and then to New Orleans.
Bailey says, like many of the Greatest Generation who fought in World War II, his uncle Ferris never talked about his time fighting in Europe."He came in at Normandy after D-Day. They set up and then went in. He was in the Battle of the Bulge; he had all that sort of thing," Bailey tells me."They set up the munitions for artillery, riffles, everything. He was very involved."LeBlanc was one of 13 siblings.
"He and his then-partner said, 'we want to pay for your college education to help you with your art and to pursue you living as an artist'." "The computer just lit up with page after page of this horrible tragedy, and how he had died, his body was buried in a potter's field and he had never been recovered. I came in here and mom was here in the dining room. I had tears running down my face. I said, 'mom we found him—and it's horrible'."It was a gay nightclub in the French Quarter of New Orleans, and the fire was intentionally set.
"She says we don't have a map; we don't know where that spot is." Not deterred, Bailey found a short film clip of the burial of the unclaimed bodies from the nightclub fire.
