An interesting side to this story is John's Grandfather Curtis Sherwood Pinney fought in the Civil War along with 3 of his brothers in the 154th New York Volunteers. Fought at Bull Run, Chancellorville and Gettysburg. Curtis also was with General Sherman's "March to the Sea". A copy of a letter that Pinney had written concerning Curtis Pinney's pioneer move to Michigan from New York after the Civil War. It's quite interesting and can be viewed at http://www.ole.net/~maggie/antrim/pinney.htm   (In the picture Herman Albert Pinney was John's father)
