Major Thomas Lynch to Marry Saturday
The marriage of Major Thomas Lynch, Catasauqua hero who is home from the aerial war of the South Pacific, to his “prom girl”, Rosemary Fullen, of Swissvale, Suburban Pittsburgh, will take place Saturday morning.

The ceremony will be performed Saturday at 10 a. m. in St. Anslem’s Church Swissvale. The attendants will include Mrs. Donald Oswald of Catasauqua, sister of Major Lynch, as a bridesmaid, and William Lynch, younger brother, an usher.

Other in the bridal party will be Mary Durry, roommate of Miss Fullen at Seton Hill College, where she met Major Lynch; Sergeant Walter Fullen of the Army Air Forces, brother of the bride-to-be, as best man, and Edward Fullen, also a brother, as usher.

Major Lynch and Miss Fullen met four years ago, while the courageous airman was a student at the University of Pittsburgh. He has been ordered to report to Washington, D. C., the first week of November for transfer back to a theater of war.
