Additional Info
Kenneth Whitney was stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. He and my birth mother were engaged. Elizabeth (Betsy) became pregnant - found out Kenneth had been married before and didn't tell her, so she refused to marry him. Instead she went to Our Lady of Victory Children's home in Lackawanna, NY. Guessing at Kenneth's birth date.
