Description

Freeman Marshall enlisted in the US Air Force on March 6 1942 and served until his honourable discharge on September 13 1945. While in England he met a woman with whom he had a child, Rick Grimster, who was then adopted out. Grimster’s daughter, Lucy, traced her father’s lineage and reunited the families (Marshall was still alive when she found them, but 91 years old with Alzheimers). Rick and his children, Lucy and Marcus, are all enrolled Mvskoke as a result.
