Looking for Eugene E. Mitchell At the Myrtle Beach reunion, someone mentioned that Eugene Emery Mitchell Y3c was known to be residing in or near Calais, ME, that he owned property in Nova Scotia (perhaps New Brunswick) Canada and gets his mail weekly from a PO Box. If you were this person, or if you know who had this information, please get in contact with me as soon as possible. I have been unsuccessful to date in developing any information about our shipmate from the other Mitchells living in Calais.
