Airmen

From Page 5 into his story.

Over four years, Kelly’s relatives gathered a trove of data, and Althaus compiled a detailed report on the fate of the bomber and its crew. The family also located relatives of the other 10 men on board, said Sandy Althaus, 82, of Georgetown, Tex., Kelly’s cousin and Scott’s mother.

In 2016, the family reached out to Project Recover - formerly the BentProp Project - a partnership with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the University of Delaware.

Althaus sent the organization his report on July 31, 2017, and the following October, Project Recover found the plane.

Lt. Kelly was 21 when he was killed. He was from Livermore, Calif., about 40 miles southeast of San Francisco. He was gregarious and popular, and was known as “Toby.” He had a sister named Betty.

He was raised in a ranching family, had his own horse and wanted to be a cowboy when he grew up, Scott Althaus wrote in his report. In the service, he kept up a correspondence with 38 people back home.

The family still has dozens of his letters.

“I’ve heard the concept of generational grief,” said Kathy Borst, 69, one of Kelly’s nieces, who never knew him. “And I believe I experienced it. It was extremely powerful.”

“I can’t explain it,” she said.

But if Kelly’s remains came home, the idea “that my grandmother, my grandfather, my mother and my uncle I never knew were in the same plot in Livermore has great meaning to me.”

She said in one of the last letters home, Kelly wrote: “I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I’m just telling you to appreciate what you have. Even if you don’t think it is much. It is so much. The men fighting here for everyone, they’re doing it for your freedom.”
