Hi Judy,
Great suggestion. I'll check at the next meeting to see if anyone has the
time to do a write-up for the quarterly. I know the editor is already
stretched pretty thin and I'm over booked! I love the idea though.
I'll let you know if we have someone with time.
Thanks for checking,
Terresa

Hi Terresa,
As an out of stater with an interest in Owen Co., I'm wondering if
you could have a short summary of the main ideas of a talk included
in the genealogy magazine or sent out to those of us who have no hope
of attending. Some of the topics sound so interesting.
