AFEES history: The late Joe Owens (second from the left in the photo from the 2015 Reunion
in Salt Lake City) was the last AFEES President who was an evader. He is pictured here with
Richard Fairlamb, who evaded in Vietnam, the late Gab Sauer, a Dutch helper, and the late Col.

“Bonjour,”
I’m Yannick MARCHANDISE. I was in contact with Larry GRAUERHOLZ. My grandmother helped him to leave France in 1944. She “welcomed” him in Lacanau (France).
Larry and I exchanged letters. He explained me what my grandmother did for him.
My job (I’m in the french army) has made that Larry and I didn’t speak as we want together.
He invited me in Wichita Falls but I wasn’t able to go to this city. I invited Larry and his family to go to Lacanau in order to watch them the house where my grandmother helped him.
I would be very happy to keep a contact with Larry’s family. Can you give her my Email and ask her to contact me ? Larry was someone special for me. His family will always be welcome in my family.
Thank you so much,
Yannick MARCHANDISE
Mr. Marchandise has been put in touch with the Grauerholz family.
