I'm so sorry to hear about Sheldon's passing. I was honored to meet and interview him in 2010 for The Desert Sun's World War II Heroes series. I would like to write something for an upcoming Military Briefs column and wanted to find out the date of his death. My e-mail address is [email protected] My love and prayers to Sheldon's family and friends. Sincerely, Denise
