My Grandfather, George Washington Dalton, was a friend of Sgt. Alvin York. They grew up less than twenty miles apart, and I am told, occasionally "socialized" together before Alvin's being saved. We have a photo, that I have included here, of Alvin at my Aunt Marie's wedding to John Milz. My wife Rickie's dad also knew Sgt. York. In August of 1957, he drove the Pontiac Star Chief car from Fort Bragg, NC, to Jamestown, Tennessee. This car was presented to Sgt. York by the 82nd Airborn Division. Rickie, myself and Rick visited the National Park to present them with a poster we had made of the newspaper clippings her dad had saved. At that time, in July of 2017, we talked to them about restoring the car, but there were no plans to do so. We were happy to see by October, Mike Wood of the Fentress County Historical Society got it cleaned up in time for the York Institute Homecoming . Jamestown is the county seat for Fentress County.
