Zoom meetings had become routine by 2020, but the one I was preparing for now was anything but ordinary. It was hard to believe it was even happening.
Checking to make sure my inter-net connection was stable, I remembered the day I received an email from a complete stranger: “My name is Twighla Allen,” the message said. “On behalf of my grandfather, I’m looking for an old Army friend of his. His name is Clair Avery. He served in Korea between February and October 1952. I’m hoping I’ve found the right family.”
