I never ceased to be amazed at the resources available on the web. Today I found a site called Summit Memory. They have SEARCHABLE copies of the Wingfoot Clan, a weekly newspaper put out by Goodyear for their employees (first published in 1912). This site has complete copies available for editions published 1939-1946 (plus issues of the Aircraft Edition. It is fun to look through them, tons of news and facts. It is a great resource for genealogy. I searched for my grandfather, Sid Riley, and found that he received his 10 Year Service Pin in October of 1943 (Wingfoot Clan 11/3/1943). Now I know that he started at Goodyear in 1933.
There was a mention when he went to visit Norm in the hospital in New York (2/7/1945)
