re: The last living biological son of a Civil War veteran turns 97 years old...

There is a picture in my family of a toddler sitting on the lap of an old man. The toddler is my uncle, my father's oldest sibling who was born in 1925, and the old man is my great, great grandfather who served in the 1st Louisiana Heavy Artillery. He passed in 1927.

I find it unbelievable that we are really connected across time.
