Good morning Jim, I don't know if this is the same Peter PICKARD or not as the dates she mention are far to early to have been him. I am wondering if her Peter PICKARD could be the grandfather or some other ancestor of the fine gentleman you mention. If you happen to know the unit that Peter PICKARD was in during the war I'll see if we can find his military records to see if there is any more information about him in those documents. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!
