I actually got to talk to Colonel Pergrin on the phone. What a gracious and outstanding man he was. He thanked me for my dad's service in the Corps of Engineers. I'll never forget that. He also sent me two signed copies of his books. A real honor!

If you contact them you might be able to write a little story about your research and they can publish it in the newsletter. If you're lucky you can get some responses from other people who might be able to help you.
