  • Anderson-Peterson Family Birthdays Issue 10 ● September 2013
    Anderson-Peterson Family Birthdays Issue 10 ● September 2013 Carl Robert Gustafson 5 September Grandpa Glenn’s brother-in-law, Bob Gustafson, was born 5 September 1922, and was the only child of Harry and Viola Gustafson. Harry and Viola were very close church friends of Fritz and Mabel (Glenn’s parents) and lived at 112 South Sixth Avenue, one block west of old Bethlehem Lutheran church. Harry was a clerk for the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad and Viola worked at Elgin Watch Company. After Bob graduated from St. Charles High School in 1940 (with Glenn’s cousin, Wilda), one year as a “salesman or sales agent,” and one year of college, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 25 August 1942 in Chicago. Bob trained as a bombardier at San Angelo, Texas, Army Airfield. It was the most advanced of the bombardier schools because they trained cadets on the new Norden Bomb Sight, a military secret because it was new technology. It was in San Angelo on 18 September 1943 that Bob married Glenn’s sister June. Sister Ethel Anderson and cousin Wilda Anderson were attendants. Bob’s Air Corps friend, Bill Duggin, was best man. After graduating and receiving his 2nd lieutenant commission and his bombardier wings on 23 October, Bob’s first assignment was instructor at San Angelo. Bob was later assigned to the 20th Air Force, which was created to fly the new B-29 Superfortress “very heavy, long- range” bombers. Bob’s unit, the Twentieth Air Force XXI Bomber Command, 313th Bombardment Wing, 505th Bombardment Group, 484th Bomb Squadron, initially trained with B-17 Flying Fortress bombers at Dalhart (Texas) Army Airfield.
