Link to James Oberg essay, click here.
I always look forward to meeting new Strong family members. Just yesterday I got a wonderful note on my Strong Facebook page from James "Jim" Oberg, nephew to Lt. Albert E. Oberg from Strong. Al was with Hugh Barr Miller's group on the net and made it as far as one of the outlier islands next to Arundel before succumbing to his injuries. In corresponding with Jim, he shared the link to an essay he wrote about Al back in 2010. I think it is imperative to share this type of information with others, as it keeps these young men alive in our minds and hearts. The essay is linked to Facebook, but I hope those of you who are not on the social media site can also access it. It's long and that's why I'm only posting the link here. If you cannot get it, let me know and I will be happy to copy and paste it into an email to you.
