Mary,
Thanks! Yes, he still is alive and well. He lives in Montgomery County, Pa. In fact, just for some more history. Ever since the government removed the ban on speaking about the war and what the soldiers saw, he has been doing classroom speeches, library talks, taken tours around the world for different celebrations, and all sorts of ways to educate people on the war. He has even been on TV. He is doing more now than when he first retired. I have a great picture of him in his 'dress' uniform. It shows his face well.
