ESTATE OF CARL MARSHALL STORY: This fantastic collection from the Estate of attorney Carl Marshall Story really stands out. His family originally owned the property where the Warner Robins Air Force Base now sits. The Story family moved their home, but had to leave their family Oak tree. General / Base Commander L. E.

Carl Marshall Story was one of the brave heroes who first stormed Normandy during WWII. Many of his service photos during this campaign are apart of this auction as well as letters and other memorabilia.

We hope you will come to inspection to see these rare and beautiful treasures in person. A camera can not do them justice. Auctioneer: Lisa Meyer 706-484-0522 / 478-318-5860
