Lou Krug was born at Dayton, OH on September 23, 1924; as a child he attended Holy Angels Catholic School, sang in the Inland Choir, delivered newspaper on his bicycle, and sold sandwiches at the National Cash Register factory. Lou attended Fairmont High School where he played tennis, sang in Clark Haines’s chorus, and graduated in 1942. Lou and his wife Jerry lived in Dayton during 1952-1962, then moved to the Dayton suburb of Huber Heights in 1962; Lou came to Wheaton, Illinois in 2013. Lou entered the U.S. Army in March 1943; in Europe he joined the 385th Field Artillery Battalion of the 104th Infantry Division, and was in combat in Germany from November 1944 through May 1945 (at Aachen, Cologne, Remagen, Nordhausen, and Halle). In 1946, Lou was back in Dayton as a machinist with International Tool Company; in 1952, he came to Wright Patterson Air Force Base as a civilian lab technician (working in glass, lasers, and exotic metals). Lou retired from Federal service in 1977.
