The artist, Roy Best, is my paternal grandfather. I’ve heard about this mural for years but have never had a chance to see it until now.
Roy Best, Is my Great, Great Uncle. I have a photo of him as a private in the army.
This is in the Pike County “ War Book”

I am the President of the Board of Trustees of the Pike Heritage Museum in Waverly, Ohio, and I was wondering if you would be willing to share anelectronic copy of your Great, Great Uncle’s photo of him in the army from The Pike County “War Book”?
