Provenance

Harold "Bud" Schweitzer was a member of St. Luke Lutheran Church for many years. He decided to join the Army during the Korean War. Keep most of his personal belongings from the Military and upon his death in October 2021 his widow Elaine gave his personal artifacts to me for safekeeping. Over the years I have held onto Bud's things but I really want to have them properly preserved.
