Hello Everyone!
I want to apologize for not being on top of things this last month or so. I
have had numerous family problems and two surgeries, not to mention Tourist
season and many long hours at work.
I've been forced to cut my researching back to only these lists and a
handful of other pertinent ones. Bummer, so much information out there and
not enough time to read it all.
On top of it all my 12 year old got ahold of my system and crashed it, so
I've lost alot of information including my PAF files I hadn't backed up. So
I'm waiting for my mother to send them to me again.
I am now getting back into the swing of things and hope to be back to normal
after Tues.. I have been forced to type one handed and after Tues., the
stitches come out and I can type normal once again.
Thanks to all of you for having so much patience with me and welcome to all
the new members of our lists.
Now for List Information:.......................
I think it's time to do a roll call again.
Please be sure to list who you are looking for including dates, places, and
any other helpful information.
Then your e-mail address.
Once again thanks to all.
