Drat, Darren. Got so interested in your Patterson find I completely forgot this. Yes, Bramble Bush is still going strong. Four a year, as usual. (Think maybe we came up short one year and only published three, but I'm not sure.) Typing "all that stuff into the computer all day" isn't half as time-consuming as all the research that goes into each issue as well as scrambling around to find things we think (hope) will be of interest to our members. It pretty much takes at least three months to get all the "stuff" together. And I'm afraid I've been very lax about getting back issues to the gals that operate the MCAR web page. Guess I'd best get on the ball and get a bunch of them off to them, huh? So, send that check if you still want to. We'll be tickled with it - and pray you find Bramble Bush informative :-))) Mysty [email protected] ******************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Darren Hellwege" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 2:02 PM Subject: [ARMar] Bramble Bush? > > Any of y'all (Mysty?) know if they're still publishing the Bramble Bush? I'm fixing to send a check down that way, but the index online is only up to '99 and I was afraid they stopped doing it. Or, maybe you just have other things to do than to type all that stuff into a computer all day! > > Beautiful day here in MO, snuck out of the office for a bit to haunt the Historical Society library here, think I may have found the Robert F. Patterson from North Carolina who came out to Marion County before the War, returned to NC and served the CSA then returned to Arkansas. I believe this is the grandfather of my Great-Grandmother, Huldah Minerva Patterson, who married Thomas Peter Ott and lived in Yellville. I'll pass along what I found when I get a minute's peace if anyone's interested. > List has been kinda slow lately, I was afraid my email had messed up and kicked me out of the group...I get entirely too much email. > > Anyone headed to the fair this weekend? Have fun! > > Darren
