My uncle, Kenneth Sparks, was an Army Air Corps B-17 navigator in WWII. He was in the last bomb raid over Germany on April 25, 1945. (He has a short snorter...)
My friend, George J. Grimm, was a U.S. Navy Transport PB2Y pilot in WWII. He flew Admiral Nimitz and his flag party into Tokyo Bay for the surrender of the Japanese. (He has a short snorter...)
What better way to start a conversation with a friend or family member...
The Short Snorter Project
The preferred way to submit a short snorter for archiving in the virtual museum is to send an email with attached digital images (JPEG format) of both the front and back sides of the short snorter (minimum 300 DPI). Flatbed scans are best as this will not allow for any distortion of notes that will not otherwise lay flat. I also have the ability to rotate and crop images so that is not a huge concern.
Alternatively, you could mail the short snorter and I will scan it for you, post the digital images to the virtual museum, and return it to you within 7 days. You would have to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return. Contact me at the above email address and we can coordinate mailing.
Lastly, to those who can send World War 2 era photos of the owner of the snorter, I will build web page(s) around that person's short snorter and their wartime story and include them in the "FEATURED SNORTERS" column on the index page.
