I am a niece of Joseph E. Dynan, and the last family member to see him before his death. His global adventures and WWII experiences became legendary in our family. Thank you so much for keeping his story, and that of his interned colleagues, alive. His boss, Max Hill, wrote a book about their internment when they returned to the safety of the US. The title is Exchange Ship, and it's possible to find old copies online from time to time.

I have fond memories of my father and Joe working together in Paris and hearing stories about their adventures in the Paris AP bureau, It's always nice to come across articles or mentions of Joe Dynan in the media, as it brings back memories of a special time in my life. Thank you for writing this article and paying tribute to my godfather and my father's friend.
