RACINE, Wis. --- John Kamperschroer noticed the posting on a Web site for Korean War veterans: Anyone who knew Sgt. Earl Glover please contact his granddaughter.
Kamperschroer served in the same medical unit as Glover and sent the granddaughter a black and white photo of Glover taken in August 1950 at the dock in Pusan shortly after the 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division, got off its transport ship. Glover died two months later.
Theresa Giometti thanked the Racine veteran for sending the photo and mentioned that her grandfather had committed suicide in Korea.
Kamperschroer knew differently.
Since that initial contact with the granddaughter of his fellow Army medic, Kamperschroer, who retired in 1996 as a nurse anesthetist from St. Luke's Hospital in Racine, has tracked down a witness to Glover's death, contacted Wisconsin's congressional delegation and filed the paperwork to right the wrong.
