From Charles' granddaughter Stacey: "My maternal grandfather Charles William Godwin served in WWII. Drafted into the Army Air Corps he played baseball to entertain troops while playing stateside. He played with Rex Barney and against Bob Feller, one of the best pitchers ever! He told my mother about going to the plate against Feller, took 3 pitches, none of which he swang, and sat back down having been called out on strikes. He was stationed in England, France and Germany. Never spoke of what he did or witnessed during the war to my Mom or aunt, I imagine it was too difficult."Photo courtesy: Stacey Ramsland
From daughter Kim Roman: "My mom, Cpl. Susan DelSignore, was #7 of 14 children and the first one to graduate high school. She was quite a rebel. When 5 of her brothers enlisted in the Army during WWII. Mom followed by joining the Woman's Army Auxillary Corps. Think of how rdical this was back in the 1940's. These pioneering women made it easier for the women who followed to enter the military, like me. She married my dad, who served 20 years in the Army Air Corps, and then the Air Force. Had my brother, who is also retired from the Air Force, and me, who served 6 years in the Air Force."Photo Courtesy: Kim Roman
