Aaron Elson bought a tape recorder in 1980 to preserve his father's war stories. He forgot it when he visited his dad in the hospital, and figured he would take it next time. Two weeks later, there would never be a next time. Seven years later he found a newsletter from the 712th Tank Battalion addressed to his dad and wrote to it asking if anybody remembered Lieutenant Elson. He got a letter back inviting him to a reunion, which he went to in 1987. The rest is history. Oral history.
