Affidavit Feb. 23, 1939 at Denver Colo. says that James A. Bryden says the name is in error, and should read Thomas E. Bryden. Mother's name is Amanda Marie Bolin (sic), born Mt. Olive, Ill. After graduating from Denver West High School, Tom joined the Army Air Corps and was a bombadier in the Philippines. He was a pharmacist in several Denver-Area drug stores.
