The Demers Family Of Lynn, Ma.
Peter Demers was my stepfather after he married my mother when both their spouses had passed away. When Pete and my mother
came to visit my family in Washington, D.C. my wife, Charlotte, and I took them sightseeing to the Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier
in Arlington, Va. It was here that he told us about his only child, George, being killed in Tokyo Bay. I promised Pete
I would research to find any material about his only child, George. Pete didn't know much about how George had died other
than the B-29 he was assigned was shot down in Tokyo Bay.
Charlotte Demers Fiasconaro, George's first cousin, grew up with George in Lynn, Ma. She tells how George's mother, Lillian,
never forgave herself for signing him into the Army Air Corps when, being an only child, he was exempt from military service.
Pete was the force behind the research and the ultimate printing of "Z Square 7, A B-29 True Story."
