Hi Ben,
Yes, I am your Great Uncle. Billy and Edith told me about your visit in April. I've been interested in Civil War history since my college days and when I was child living in Vicksburg.
I would like connecting with you, so email me or call me at 619 542-1233.
I plan on going to Mississippi in late October for a visit with Billy and Edith. Margaret had expressed an interest in coming as well. I hope to visit some battle sites around Vicksburg, maybe Champion's Hill or the Big Black river sites.
I know your mother is struggling with illness from the emails I get from my nephew Ray Yates. I hope Sherry is getting better.
You recently got married I hear
I look forward to hearing from you.
Jim Yates
