Hello, Lena, No apology needed from yu for Yahoo, but thank you for the consideration. Thank you for addressing this issue across the list so as to clarify to us list folks as to who you are. We are happy to have you here to research with us. While you were writing, I wish you had included the surnames you are researching in Coffee County. Maybe someone could share info with you, or might need what you have to share. It is a shame that domains add things unbeknownst to the poster. The email was not aimed only at the received email..... "> > I am not saying this fund raiser is not legitimate, but it is very brief. >" .....I just wanted to remind our families here on the mailing list to be aware to whom they donate also. So, Lena, again thank you for joining us on the ALCOFFEE mailing list. Please make yourself at home here.....as we all do. *smiles* If you will, please advise us of the surnames that you are researching, please. Oops....just scrolled down and you did state that you are researching: "> > Williams, Stallings, Lane, Steele, Shreve, Ratliff, Heath, Chatfield, > Pinkston, Pace, McCrary, Spra(y)berry >" If you wish to share, would you post the specific names for these folks, please? Oh, yeah...thanks for stepping up to bat for our county in your service with the Navy, ma'am. Much good luck in your research. Take care now..... Phyllis J. K. Owens Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Dark Hershey's Chocolate Bar, chocolate-peanut clusters, and Hershey's kisses in one hand, Pepsi, moon pies, peanut butter and all the Beich banana kisses one can hold in the other hand, chewing Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum, body throughly worn out and screaming happily "WooHooo! What a ride!! Yeah!! Yeeeehaaaa!!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "JRA" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 03, 2005 5:26 PM Subject: [ALCOFFEE] Re: ALCOFFEE-D Digest V05 #164 >I want to apologize if my subscription raised eyebrows.
