Congratulations on your 50th anniversary! Particularly after getting married at such a young age. (You know, they say those marriages are doomed, due to lack of maturity!) :) We appreciate all you do. Thank you!

James, I am in Italy right now and have not had an opportunity to see my results. Based on the emails I am getting, there seems to be quite a number of people interested. I will be home this coming week and will get back to you after I have reviewed everything.

Well, as long as we're thanking folks, I want to add mine to Jim too. He's been very helpful to me. Since this is a broadcast, does anyone have information about Benjamin Jacob Barrett born in Southampton county Virginia in 1830? He's buried in the Barrett cemetery at Barrett's Crossroads near Como N. C. (called Manny's Neck sometimes). He served in the Edenton Bell Light Artillery during the civil war and made it until 1902. Thanks again, y'all.
