A French Woman Needs Your Help

[minos02]

Hello to everybody,

I am a frenck woman of 38 years old and I need your help.
I am looking for my grandfather who was an american officer during the World War II in France in 1944/1945. He was in the base of Couvron near the city of Laon.
He came from a city near the Michigan's Lake. He was fairhaired, he had blue eyes. Perhaps his firstname or nickname was Patrick, I am not sure, as you see I don't know a lot about him.
He met my grandmother : Bernadette Mabilotte nicknamed Dedette in a ball in Remies - a village near the base of Couvron.
He wanted to marry her at the end of the war but she refused : I don't know why ! He came back in USA in spring or summer 1945. He was still in Couvron in march 1945 because my mother was born on the 27 th of december 1945. My grandmother died in 1988 and always refused to tell us more about him.
Can you help me to find him ?
Can you tell this story to your friends, especially the veterans of the WWII ?
Thank you by advance Nathalie
