Thanks to all of you who responded about my W. of W. question.I got over 50 responses! I did find a web page that explains it a little bit, and am hoping to get a history of the organization. http://www.woodmen.com/ http://www.woodmen.com/frat.htm It is so great to have so many people take time to answer our questions. that is what is all about, isn't it? Sharing. That is what makes genealogy so much fun and so satisfying. Thank you all again Charlene
