Laurie:
What a fantastic post. As they say, right up my alley.
Thank you for your time and efforts and for being so thorough here on the forum. What you just relayed is invaluable to me. I feel now that I am fully armed and can't thank you enough.
Now that I've read your post, I am going to look over what they sent me again. I may be contacting you for some further clarifications.
Let me say how happy I am for you. This little gal here can certainly share in your joy. Ah, a woman after my own 
I just spent two days with a man from my dad's unit and we spent about 15 hours going through his collection and mine and comparing notes. He is VERY EXCITED about my book and he keeps asking when it will be done. Well, I gotta get off my rump and get those reports from NARA. Thanks for the added incentive.
