AINO DAVIS ENGAGEMENT TO ARMY AIR CADET
STOCKBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 16—Mr. and Mrs. Leslie A Davis of this place and New York have announced the engagement of their daughter, Aino Tangier, to Army Aviation Cadet Gunter George Trost, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ewalt Trost of Segreganset, Mass.
The prospective bride, who studied abroad and also at Wilson College, was graduated from Mount Holyoke College last month. Her father has served as an American consul in Turkey, Russia, Finland and Yugoslavia. He was consul general in Glasgow, Scotland, in the autumn of 1939, helping many Americans to return to this country and aiding the survivors of the sunken liner Athenia.
Cadet Trost was graduated from Temple University in 1942 and expects to receive his commission in December.

I'm Robert Davis Pulcipher (b. 8.25.1956), son of Aino Davis (now deceased), youngest daughter of Leslie A. Davis. I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She had another son, James Lee Pulcipher (b. 1.11.1949), who died on August 11, 1991 in Arlington, Virginia.
My mom was married for a short time during WWII to Gunter Trost, as noted in the geneology, but he was killed in a plane crash shortly after their marriage. My mom later married my dad, Ralph Robert Pulcipher, of Acme, Michigan.
I was pleasantly surprised to come across your website. It's fascinating to find more information about my grandfather and his family. The last I remember of my grandfather was during Christmas of 1959 in Winter Park, Florida, their winter home, when I was 3-1/2 years old. Grandpa was blind at the time and I remember trying to sneak around him, but to no avail. Of course, he always knew it was me. To the mind of a small boy, however, it was amazing he could figure that out.
I think grandpa's greatest passion was adventure, which rubbed off, to varying degrees, on his daughter Adele, my brother Jim, and on me.
No one in the family, beyond Grandma, knew about his travails in Harput. We learned about that when Susan Blair's book, Slaughterhouse Province, came out. I think that was in the late 80s. Amazing.
