Hi Marion,
My name is Rebecca Sincavage. I'm the granddaughter of Charles Sincavage who served in the 157th Combat Engineers and was also taken POW. Kathy Hemard had been in contact with my grandfather in the past and our local newspaper actually did a write up on the information she shared with him. I believe she referenced this article in one of her comments on your forum. I'm writing you because my grandfather passed away last week. My family and I have always been interested in his military history and we just came across some military photos and documents he had tucked away. During his lifetime, it was always very difficult for him to talk about his time in the war and the stories he shared with us were limited, but the information we have gained either through his stories or these documents are very precious to us. I was wondering if you had any additional information or documents you'd mind sharing and also if you have a contact email for Kathy. If able, I'd be interested in any of the information she had shared with my grandfather previously.
Thank you,
Rebecca
Dear Rebecca: Our condolences on your loss. I plan on sharing your letter with the members of my 157th Email list, so everyone can keep in touch. Coincidentally, I also heard from two other 157th family members within the last couple of weeks. Interesting.
