Not sure, I had a grandfather that died around that time named Fred Moschberger

Fred that I knew was from New Jersey. He had briefly been an airline pilot for the so-called Air Force service.
I say so called because he wasn’t very happy about going way up in the air and it makes us feel better.
It’s more like experimental as what we feel
Anyway, he’s from New Jersey, he was married to a woman named Maryann. Her maiden name was Farley.
