Dear Barrett family & friends: Ok, I know you are tired of hearing from me, but I just had to give you one more thing to do before we leave for Montana. We will be passing right by Sheryn again when we leave Montana and head west, but probably won't have time to stop this year. I should be able to check my mail occasionally, but it would be best to e-mail me at kmchett@AOL.com, if you need to get in touch with me. We will go to Vancouver, which we love, and Victoria, BC, have never seen Victoria. We also hope to visit Roger's Uncle Scotty's grave near Kelso, Wa., which no one in the family has ever visited, I'm sorry to say. So, what does mashed potatoes have to do with this? Well, if you want to read some fun memoirs, click on this link: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mccannkin/mashpota/ Mashpotmems.html This is the basic page (with no clip art or anything neat) for the mashed potato memories that I asked some of you to write! Gerry Dickens, of course, wrote a scholarly treatise, good enough for a doctoral dissertation. She's too smart for her own good! My McCann Kin pages are turning into memoir pages, but I really do enjoy encouraging others to write their stories. I hope you are all writing your own stories for your children. Don't you wish your great-grandfather had left a mashed potato story for you?!! Karen
