Paul, goes without saying that it's great to have you here and so wonderful to add you to our ever-growing family. 
I went to a family memorial this weekend, and my husband was passing around my article about the 540th. Several people in our family asked, wow, how did you find out all this stuff? 
I explained how I started off with a small candy box that's been by my side since my dad died when I was age twelve, and an insatiable desire to know more. I explained that I had some memories of conversations around our dining room table when I was a wee tike, but other than that, just a dozen or so photos and some patches and pins. I am living proof that you can go from almost nothing to what you see today.
I don't have to tell you how exciting it is to get that initial tidbit of info. That sets off that spark and you just want MORE!
It's great that we can all help each other. Each of us offering some knowledge that the others do not have.
Seems that quite a few members live in PA. I started calling that the 540th state. 
I will be there in September for the 36th's reunion and I'm hoping that some of you will be able to join me to represent the great 540th'ers. We need to carry on their fine tradition.
