The Mylott Brothers in World War II: Edgar, Milo and Arthur
I knew Ed Mylott as a neighbor on 4th Avenue Troy , N.Y. (1970s) He and his wife, Dot, were lovely people. I remember him telling me stories about growing up on the canal. I'm fairly sure Dot was related to my mother who grew up in Cohoes. This was a nice suprise.
