  He seems to have been a hot-air balloon racer in the 1910s.

  This is a digital painting based on this photo uploaded by The Library of Congress, and painted with Corel Painter and a Wacom tablet with pressure sensitive stylus.

  If you can hold something up and put it down, it is calledweight-lifting; if you can hold something up but can never put it down,it's called burden-bearing. Pitifully, most of people are bearing heavyburdens when they are in love on www.ebayrosettastone.com/

  This is a picture of my maternal grandfather, Myrl Tremelin. He flew lighter-than-air ships in WWI and helped develop the Goodyear blimp in WWII. He lived in Akron,Ohio. diana Roose Oberlin, Ohio

• TVL1970 said:

  He apparently also held the rank of Lieutenant Colonel during the Second World War. Here, he's cited (albeit with his first name misspelled) in The Evening Independent (Massillon, Ohio) of November 7, 1942, at the bottom of Page 7: "Two service men from Akron were the reviewing officers for the band's military review which followed. They were Lieut. Col. Merle D. Tremelin, army air force resident representative at the Goodyear Aircraft Corp., and Lieut. Fred Ongley of the United States navy. . ."
