| 12. |  Denbrook Lester Herman Gilbert was born on 19 May 1919 in Fond du Lac, WI (son of Denbrook Fred and Schmidt Martha A); died on 03 Feb 2006 in Minnesota VA Home, Fergus Falls, MN; was buried in Knollwell Cemetery, fergus Falls, MN. Other Events:
- MILI: 26 Mar 1945, Kurhotel Petersberg, Germany; Dad used to talk about going up in the mountains near Cologne, Germany, to prepare for a big meeting of the Allied command. I speculate that it was at this hotel since a meeting was held between Ike, Bradley, Hodges, and Collins on 3/26/1945 and Dad had a few maps and brochures of this place.
Notes:
dad is listed as a member of the 64 rd infantry Division in the "History of the 63rd Infantry Division, June 1943-Sept 1945"

The 1920 directory for Fond du Lac lists their address as 70 Doty, Fond du Lac.
