Richard Franklin Hanson

August 15, 1916 - January 9, 2016

This website is dedicated to my father. He's got a great story and my goal is to help him share it.

He grew up during the Great Depression, was a POW in WWII after this B-24 was shot down over Belgium, spent over 30 years as a surveyor with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS).

I hope you enjoy this website.
