I am searching for family of John (Jack) Bertie, WW2 USN fighter pilot, who grew up partly in Eau Claire, WI. I have a 1936 Boy Scout Diary that I believe belonged to Captain Bertie, and would like to return it to any family member who requests it. Any info to help me contact family would be welcomed.
