Thanks for visiting my site.  My name is Scott Pinkowski and I am the creator of Lost Images Of World War II.  This is actually my second website featuring these photos.  My first attempt was a site called Images From The 347th Ordnance Depot Company and it was online for only 6 months in 1997.  When I moved to Centralia, Illinois in November, 1997, that website was removed from the internet.  Rather than bringing the old site back in its original form, I decided to redesign the whole thing from the bottom up.
    I feel it is my responsibility to share these photos with interested viewers worldwide and I believe the internet is the most dynamic way of doing that.  For an  explanation of how the photo collection came about see the Memorial Section.
    About myself; I was born in Joliet, IL in 1973 and grew up in Hillsboro, IL.  In 1991, I entered Millikin University to study art and graduated in 1995 with my Bachelor Of Fine Arts degree.   I currently work as production manager and graphic artist for a publishing company in Centralia, IL. 
    I hope you enjoy your visit at this site.  I've spent uncountable hours on it, (including the time I spent in 1997 scanning all the photos you'll see here).  Feel free to e-mail  with information concerning ANY of the photos you've seen here.  Also please take a moment to sign the guestbook, as well.  I'm interested in who is visiting my site, and I'd like to know what you think.  Thanks again for visiting.

Sincerely, Scott Pinkowski
