dear tootie i am the daughter of anna lou orr gibson. she grew up in ash flat, daughter of gus and ellen orr. this is her computer and i signed her up for the sharp county mailing list. she has really enjoyed reading many of the postings and was particularly interested in your postings about the sharps. she is descended from the william sharps. she has done extensive research over the past forty years though she doesn't do it any anymore. that is one reason i got her this computer. hoping she would be able to connect with folks like you. but she is eighty years old and taking care of my very ill father and just hasn't been able to take the time to learn how to use it very much. she gets frustrated trying to return emails sometimes and rarely gets it completed so she ask if i would write you and ask for your phone number. she would really love to talk with you. i think you might both have interesting info to share with each other. and it would do her some good to. since my father is homebound, she basically is too. though she has hospice helping her and giving her some time out now and then. anyway, that may be way more info than you want but that's it. thanks for your time. we look forward to hearing from you. sincerely sarah gibson-eight generations removed from william sharp
