Huh? Maybe I spent too much time out in the heat and humidity today
(entirely possible), but I don't have a clue as to what y'all are
talking about.
Can somebody fill me in? It doesn't sound like you're talking about
Jefferson County, Indiana, at least not the Jefferson County, Indiana I
grew up in.
Please don't take offense. This is not a flame. It's too darn hot for
that. But, I've read this several times, scratched my head a few times
and none of the names seem to fit. What in the heck are you guys
talking about?

You're right, I just get so wound up about this stuff. I now have an
expense report to give to Deena too, just like Mary. I found the obit that
someone had written and asked about, so will be sending that off. He paid
the TT $5 for research so I feel I should be reimbursed for the copies I
made of it, and the adjoining copies for his brother too.
I am forwarding what Elaine has sent to me. Thought you might be
interested.
See you tomorrow.
