Roach Family Connections

From James C. Hoffman, July 13, 2006

Trina,

I found your letter to be interesting.  I have a very good friend who is a member of your family.  His name is Beauregard Roach and we served in the Army together. We first met at Fort Bragg, NC while assigned to the 2nd Support Center. Roach retired as a Chief Warrant Officer, in the Petersburg, Virginia area close to Fort Lee and was in the insurance business.  Take care.

James C Hoffman, Chief Warrant Officer 4, (retired)
