UXO Related Question:
I am the museum coordinator for Padre Island National Seashore, a national park, and am researching the island's history. Can anyone tell me the name of the Navy bombing range that used to be in the middle and on the north end of Padre Island? I have requested info from the National Archives on the "Padre Island Gunnery Range", but that turns out to be the name of a former range on south Padre Island. Likewise, the UXO database shows a "Laguna Madre Gunnery Range", but that is listed as having been in Cameron County, which is on south Padre Island. I believe the bombing range I am seeking was in use from about 1941-42 to maybe 1947 or later. Maps from the late 50's still show the targets and I have documents detailing the target and other facility locations (including photos), but I cannot find the specific name for the range. If I can acquire this, then I will be able to go to the National Archives and Navy Archives and get detailed histories without being misdirected to south Padre Island.

UXO Related Question:
I have what I believe to be a Federal Parrott shell. It has been in my family for generations, collected by my great grand father. This shell has weathered perhaps 30 to 35 yrs out of doors as an ornament on a fence. In later years my father, now deceased (an ordnance officer-Aberdeen Proving Grounds) had little knowledge of its disposition. Yet, we never ran for cover when happening across this projectile. I can peer into the top of the projectile aprox. 1" into what looks like the cement that great grampa added to this shell. Please offer me some advice on the object in my possession. It would be greatly appreciated. bill keitel 507-372-2021
