I have been trading E-Mails with a gentelman who's dad was in the same outfit as my Uncle George while building the AlCan highway. Company A 341st Engineer Regiment. I looked his name up in my Mom's Unit History books from both Alaska and Europe and his name is in both books and is listed as being in Company A.
My friend's name is Russell Kvistad and he says his dad was with the 38th Engineer Special Brigade when they landed at Normandy. Could he have been on loan or something? My friend is trying to find out what he can about his dad's time in Europe.
Can anyone shed any light on the 38th Engineer Special Brigade? As always I will appreciate it.
Many of you are familiar with Jerry Gorden who runs the 34th Division's site. Well Rocky just sent me this news this evening and it is not good. I am so sorry to hear this, especially since Jerry Gorden was one of my very first contacts when I started my research. He is the one who sent me a copy of the Dogfaces Who Smiled Through Tears book, and also several other documents to help me out. We had been corresponding on and off since 2004.
I do not know if you have heard, but Jerry (my dad) has entered Hospice care, and is living the rest of his days there. The prognosis is not good and we were told there was a slim chance for him to make it through the weekend. He is getting excellent care at this time though.
My dad took me aside back in November and told me when it came time for this- to email everyone in his address book and ask for him to be removed from theirs. So I am honoring his wishes at this time.
