Teacher Who Wants To Run For School Board Responds To Challenge Of His Declaration Of Candidacy Signatures

Jack Wellbrock would search the 15-minute trailers before movies in the 1960s and 1970s for any sign of his twin brother Raymond.
Bill Wellbrock held onto the letters his brother sent him from [url=http://www.sacs-balenciaga.com/47-sac-balenciaga-cuir]Sac Balenciaga Cuir[/url] Korea and held out hope that one day he would find some closure.
Sixty-two years later, the Wellbrock family will finally have their beloved son and uncle back when the body of Raymond Wellbrock is returned to Cincinnati March 5 62 years after his death in the Korea War.
Raymond, who grew up in a family of nine children in Delhi Township, was killed during a battle in Chosin Reservoir in North Korea in December 1950. His remains were identified by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command Central Identification Laboratory at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Fred Wellbrock, who still lives in Delhi, said his father, [url=http://www.sacs-balenciaga.com/45-sac-balenciaga]Sac Balenciaga[/url] Bill, initiated the search for Raymond when he first wrote a letter to Congressman Steve Chabot in 1996. There were letters sent back and forth between Bill, Chabot and Army officials. The Army requested DNA samples from Bill and his only other living sibling at the time, Dorothy.
They wouldnt have been able to identify (Raymond) [url=http://www.sacs-balenciaga.com/44-balenciaga-clutch]Balenciaga Clutch[/url] without this, Fred said.
Raymonds remains were among 33 boxes of remains of unaccounted for U.S. servicemen recovered from Sinhung-ri, Changin County, South Hamgyong Province in North Korea. These troops were killed in the four-night, five-day battle with the Chinese. Raymonds cause of death was determined to be from a gunshot wound he received on Dec. 12, 1950, and from the lack of medical care. His official date of death was determined as Dec. 31, 1950.
Raymond grew up in Delhi and Price Hill, attended St. William Grade School and Elder High School, but dropped out to join the Army. Nancy Wellbrock, Freds wife, said Theresa Wellbrock Schorsch, Raymonds sister, had to sign for him to enlist in the Army in 1948 because he was only 17. Theresa was his guardian along with several of their other siblings because both of their parents, Josephine and Frederick, died in 1944.
( 2 of 2)He was described as warm, friendly and fun-loving, Nancy said.
Fred and his daughter, Julie Wellbrock, both said Bill would be incredibly grateful that Raymond was returning home. Some of the letters from Raymond that the Wellbrock family held onto were addressed to Bill. In his final letter to Bill, dated Nov. 19, 1950, less than a month before he was wounded at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir on Dec. 12, 1950, he inquired about the family and described some of the action he had seen and said he [url=http://www.sacs-balenciaga.com/]Sacs Balenciaga[/url] was fighting in 30 below freezing temperatures:
We ran into an ambush it didnt amount to much but boy was I scared. I thought I was done for but I came through ...
I got some potatoes and ate steak and french fries all day. All I didnt have was a beer ...
How is everyone back at home fine I hope. Tell them all I said hello and tell (Bob) if he wants some good hunting to come over here plenty of deer and lots of hills to climb. Well, Bill that is all I can so Ill bring this letter to a close hoping to hear from you soon.
Raymonds great-niece Julie said, Im still in shock they found (Raymond). I still tear up thinking about it because my grandpa (Bill) really missed his brother.
Ray Wellbrock of Bridgetown said there is a sense of relief that his uncle has been found. Rays father, Jack was Raymonds identical [url=http://www.sacs-balenciaga.com/45-sac-balenciaga]Sac Balenciaga[/url] brother. Jack died in 1978 but Ray said his father spent much of his final days with Ray and his other sons, Michael and John and his wife Katie, scouring television news reports hoping he would see Raymond and watching M*A*S*H
All of Raymonds siblings Madeline, Paul, Theresa, Grace, Bill, Dorothy and Jack are deceased, but Raymond still has many living nieces and nephews and other family members who will be in attendance when he is buried in his hometown.
When Raymond was killed in 1950, he was ranked as a corporal and was promoted to sergeant after his death. He also received the Purple Heart, Combat Infantrymans Badge, Korean Service Medal, United Nations Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal. He will be buried with his full dress uniform and medals. The Wellbrock family also said that Elder High School principal Tom Otten will award Raymond an honorary diploma.
