The Library of Congress had John Weying's N172 mislabeled as his brother Gus' image. After several months of unsuccessful attempts to get them to correct it, I decided I needed reinforcements.

I just started looking in the Louisville, Kentucky (the Weyhings' home town) phone book for surviving relatives. I found a bunch and in the process became friendly with Gus' and John's nephew, Ed.

Ed had fond memories of meeting Gus and had a bunch of things he showed me (like Gus's silver lifetime pass) that I never would have seen otherwise.

Ed's family name did have some pull with the Library of Congress. He managed to get John's photo properly labeled.
