Hi Peggy: I moved the post you wrote (dated today - see above) and placed it back here. For some reason it was posted under another topic related to the 10th Engineers. I may have confused you when I earlier stated that you should type in "610th". I didn't mean you should post your request there, but rather wanted you to see information that we already had on that unit.
Have to run for now. I'm on vacation, but wanted to touch base with you. Hopefully we can find more on him...
