I don't recall ever meeting her but from her e-mails, I could tell she was a very pleasant person and wished I would have met her at least once.
Mil Horbach let me go through her scrapbook and pictures in 2004. She had some amazing Manning pictures. After she passed away I tried to track down what happened to them,
but could never find out. She took those amazing pictures of the mini Jap sub that was captured after the attack on Pearl Harbor and was brought to the Mainland to help raise bonds
for World War II.
I had hoped to see if she had other pictures and also re-scan the ones from 2004, but fear they have been thrown away - at least I have some average scans of them.
Here are a few e-mails from Shannon.
Here are some pictures from Shannon's collection I scanned in 2016.
