World War II's "Kissing Sailor" Dies-- Part 1

From the March 14, 2014, West Texas Bews West 9 "Man known as kissing sailor in World War II-era image dies" by Ramit Plushnick-Masti, AP. //// Glenn McDuffie, 86, died March 9, 2014. He was born in Kannapolis, North Carolina, and moved to Houston in 1960 where he was a mail-carrier and semi-pro baseball player. //// Houston Police Department forensic artist Lois Gibson identified him as the sailor from the famous V-J Day photo taken August 14, 1945, by photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt. She is quite the expert in such matters, but even so, there is still a lot of controversy as many others have claimed to be that sailor. Sadly, Eisenstaedt had never gotten the names of the two in the photo. //// "Will the Real 'Kissing Sailor' Please Stand Up." I'll Go With Mr. McDuffie. --GreGen
