Hello,
I have a almost square off white silk scarf with Roscoe Turners, and many others autographs written on the scarf. There is an Amelia ??? and she dated it 1930, so maybe I can assume all was autographed in 1930. I was told it was from some Air race (balloon) in Cleveland, Ohio in 1930.
If anyone can point me in the right direction on finding out about this Silk Scarf, I would be thrilled to the bone.
Thank you for reading my plight.

Thank you Tom & Eric,
I will scan or take a pic of it soon. Can I just post a pic here, or do I need a image hosting to post a picture?
Thank you both for helping me out. It is very much appreciated.

I've got a ton of server space. Send me a copy of the picture and I'll upload it for you and send you a link that you can post.

That sound like a very interesting piece of silk!!!. Can't wait to see the picture. BTW I've always thought that Rosco Turners life would make a good film.

Hi Folks,
I havent forgotten this post, just the scarf. I cannot get my scanner to work on this windows XP (it is old) but finally got my camera to work.
Now when Im back home, I will tie a string around my finger to remember to get that silk scarf.
Its terrible getting old!
Thanks for your patience.
