That is a great story M1. Do we know any more about him as a 36th Engineer?

Is Farmington hills far from you in MI ? It is so good to see the certificate back where it belongs.

No, we don't know anymore about him. John found his name listed in the records.

 

Farmington is not very from from Tom and Karla's house. Lee used to go to school in Farmington...
