Kevin worked at the National Register for over 25 years and was known for his love of music and military history. He also volunteered with a dog rescue group and was involved in his local church. Kevin&#8217;s career included roles at several national parks and sites, and he was a Civil War reenactor at Fort Ward Museum. He is survived by his wife and family.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The first guidance article provides advice on removing properties from the National Register. Properties can be removed if they lose their historical qualities or if there were errors in their nomination. NPS&#8217;s preferred method for submitting removal requests is using the Form 10-900a Modified Continuation Sheet.<\/p>\n<p>Under staffing updates, NPS highlights Emma Trone, a recent intern, who joined through the National Council of Preservation Educators.
