Firestone General Manager Reaching Out to Family family member of Paul Rupel
Hello from Liberia,
I am trying to make contact with a family member of Paul Rupel who was a principal at BWI in the late 30s, early 40s. I’ve run across photos of him and who is, I suppose, his son in some historical archives we have. Wondered if you had any contact information.
Thank you for your time.
