The residents of Alpena, MI raised the money to build
THUNDER BAY BABE through the purchase of war bonds. The City of Alpena overlooks
Lake Huron's picturesque Thunder Bay. Captain Ridgeway's mother's name was Babe. My Father, Jack B. Newman (Radio Operator), later became a POW at Stalag 17 until he was liberated by General
Patton's 3rd Army.
