Somewhere on one of my hard drives are 2 pictures. One is an old issue of Stars & Stripes. Stanley's picture is in a football team photo. I think it was in Hawaii.
The other is an (old) article in the Syracuse Post Standard of Stanley Dunham holding infant Stanley Anne Dunham surrounded by 2 or three fellow soldiers.
I think it was taken at Fort Drummond. The gist of the caption was little Stanley Anne was the only female allowed. One of those cutesy, feel good pictures.
Fred, would you happen to have those pictures in your archives?

I'll trade you, here's the one you are asking for, we have tried to ascertain if the article is genuine, without result, cannot find it in archives for the publication it supposedly came from:
Would appreciate it if you find and post the image from Stars and Stripes, thanks.

Stanley was born at Wichita and has been living here with her mother since her father was assigned to the Syracuse Air Base.
In addition to the baby's visit to the Center, the first spring formal dance took place last week-end, with an attendance of more than 300.
Mrs. Leo Hanrahan was in charge of arrangements and produced an entertainment featuring Sonya Marens, June Tasker, vocal soloist; Peggy Kimball, pianist and Mary Hilbert, tap dancer pupil of Miss Marens.
