Dear Mr. Dexter,
I have read and been inspired by Elgin Staples's story and am happy that you found and were able to return the medals belonging to him. I work as a research fellow for my professor, Dr. Paul Kengor, Executive Director of Grove City College's Center for Vision and Values. Dr. Kengor is a New York Times best-selling author and presidential historian known for his scholarship on the Cold War, communism, and Ronald Reagan. The Center for Vision and Values is a conservative leaning think tank at Grove City College specializing in promoting freedom from a Christian platform. Dr. Kengor, upon hearing about Mr. Elgin's story, was interested in doing a Memorial Day article on him. Would you be willing to help us get in touch with Allen Staples, his second son or anyone who would know of his story of rescue and survival?
Respectfully,
Sharon Koss
