Now what he does with it is totally up to him. You will not know anything ,nothing. Unless he decides to contact you . If he tosses it all in the trash can or picks up the phone and calls it's entirely his decision. My oldest brother wrote the letter and dropped it off at the SS office in Dracut Mass. in January of 1991 and got a phone call from her in July of 1991. My youngest brother and her was living less then 5 miles from each other in the suburbs of Denver Colo. when she made the call to my oldest bro . in Mass.

I'm not sure if our SS provides that facility. It might be worth asking should I get that info of my Dad.
