The Thompson Four Foundation’s Unfinished Record
A family archive preserving the military artifacts, service records, and wartime history of the Hanes family.
Field notes
The archive is structured around four family members, their parents, and four declared purposes rather than a conventional institutional timeline. Its record pages preserve unresolved points: Homer Buford’s discharge papers may settle whether he landed at Normandy, while the identity of a child in an early photograph remains an open question. Anna Beth’s entry records 18 years with the United States Department of State, including work in Germany, Barbados, Tunisia, and Washington.
