/in Fulfilled Twilight WishesStephenson, who is 95, found out several years ago that there is a memorial at the spot where Phelps’ plane crashed after an Italian organization reached out to her grandson via Facebook. The Associazione Amici del fiume Senio (Friends of the Senio River Association) found parts from Phelps’ plane and put up a memorial at the spot of the crash. The organization, with the help of one eyewitness, was able to give his family photos and information they had never heard before. Like so many other veterans, Phelps, who passed away in 1976, did not talk much about his war experiences with his family.
Stephenson has wanted to visit the memorial in Italy ever since they found out about it. Her wish finally came true in late April when she and three family members traveled to Italy to visit the memorial and take part in a ceremony on that date. This date is important to the Phelps family as it is the anniversary of his release as a POW in 1945.
