John: I, too, wish you a long retirement and a healthy fun filled relaxation time. Thank you so much for starting me on my search of Johann Philipp Mahr (one of the Dudenhofen boys) and arranging my daughters trip to Germany to meet the townspeople there. I have been working every since I first wrote to you many years ago on this family and I have you to thank and your ever helpful spirit in all the many "dumb" questions we have. You will be greatly missed but we hope to hear from you occassionally. Carolyn Moore Mack
