He is 89 years old and in the past couple of years has begun to share stories. Your Dad's name was one of only a few that he remembers. This posting is 5 years old so I don't know if it will reach you but just hearing what you were able to do with your father is an incredible journey. I would love to hear from you. Brenda Gustim John,

Your uncle Barney was/is my father. My mother, Medora, was his first wife. I have had no contact at all with Barney for many many years, and only saw him maybe three times in my life I know nothing about my family history on the Roth side. Anything you can provide me on our ancestry on the Roth side of the family would be really great. Kind regards, Laura Hi, I would be your cousin. Your uncle Barney was/is my father.

I'm trying to track down information about a friend of his who was killed around January or February 1945. His name was Boyle (or Doyle). Other names my grandfather remembers are Sgt Ridgeway (from Kentucky), Lt. Lucas, Sgt Reisner, and PFC Howard Kaufman from Ohio. If these names sound familiar to anyone, please contact me at strangewayes@gmail.com - my grandfather turns 93 this year and I would like to help him get in touch with any friends who are left.

Writing a book on Company B of your father's battalion. Please write me at MacLean.LLC@comcast.net. I have info on Colonel Bond but almost nothing about your father. My Dad, PFC "Mac" MacLean, only knew who his platoon leader was and most of the sergeants. But your father would have had to approve of the Silver Star my father was awarded for actions on January 30, 1945. Dad was wounded and captured that day and received the award in July 1945. Love to hear from you; I can't do a decent job on Company B, without good info on your father! Did he take any photos of the area in the forest? Holden, I'm Colonel (Ret) French MacLean.

Now I write history books, the last one being Custer's Best, which is about a cavalry company at the Little Bighorn. Now am researching to write a book on Company B in the Hürtgen. Dad (who is 89) was captured January 30, 1945 near Wahlerscheid. If you have anything on Company B (Jack Dunlap, Louis Benoist, Timber Ridgeway, Merode Castle) or combat photos of the 39th in general that you might be able to scan, please contact me at MacLean.LLC@comcast.net. Will also be glad to share info.
