Hi Bennie,

And the same to the UGRR family from Canada, through the states that I've been afforded an opportunity to meet during the last couple of years. Hailing from Illinois, I'm just checking in and posting a hearty congratulations. We are building our web site at www.freedomtrails2legacies.org.

By the way Bennie,I found a picture of a single uniformed African American Civil war soldier standing at attention with what appears to be a white stick or sword. I've been trying to retrace my tracks to find him again, but no luck. Any ideas?
Sincerely,
Anne Walker
