Yes, My Dad told me the story of Albert Woolsen who died in 1956; a
year after I was born.

He said he was listening about him on a radio station commentary, and
they announcer said something like "Albert Woolsen Died today, and the
Grand Army of The Republic died with him..."

I think about that line occasionally.

Looks like some of what I was reading in the newspapers then, but I
was nine years old.
BTW, was Red Foley on the radio down there when you were a kid?
Used to listen him in Missouri.
