Isn't this man somehow related to one of the creators Thirteen days? I heard he was and that that could explain his huge role in that movie. Evilbu 21:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
He definately did not serve in the USAF - it was not esablished until after WWII. 146.243.4.157 14:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
The Lawrence O'Donnell, jr. page mentions that Kenneth O'Donnell is his father, yet the Kenneth O'Donnell page says nothing about Lawrence O'Donnell, jr. Also, whay would Lawrence O'Donnell be a 'junior' if his father's name is Kenneth. Neither page mentions a name change (except the reversal of K.O'D's first and middle initials). Can anyone explain the discrepencies (if any)? (are they really related, adopted, etc)
-Thanks
