Hi Brenda,

Unfortunately, I don't have your e-mail address to pass along to Dr. Kvach. If you want to contact Dr. Kvach, you can reach him at 824-2570 (AL) or if you want to schedule an appointment to share your documents you can e-mail Diane Blocker at wdblocker@gmail.com. If you're great great grandfather is from Ohio, you can send us a copy of the discharge papers to ATTN: Local History Office, Ohio Historical Society at 1982 Velma Ave. Columbus, OH 43211 and we will post the document on our website. You can also post it on our site using our contribution form.

Let me know if you have any questions.
