MIZ SCARLETT, I THANK YOU FOR THE LIST ON THE 69TH REGIMENT IN NY, AS MY GRANDFATHER- OR FATHER ONCE BELONGED TO IT…I DON'T KNOW HOW, IT WAS BEFORE I WAS BORN . I HAVE THE HAT ONE OF THEM WORE, AS A KEEPSAKE. NEITHER FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR, AS GRANDFATHER WAS ABOUT 7 AT THE TIME AND LIVED IN ENGLAND, MY FATHER WASN'T BORN YEST. BUT I READ SOME OF THE LIST NAMES OUT OF CURIOUSITY….AND QUITE AND UNDERTAKING YOU DID. PEOPLE SHOULD BE APPLUDING YOU EFFORTS.
