It was a great shock to hear from Tom Wilde that Pat Blanchard Curry passed away this past New Year's Eve. I have sent a personal note to Pat's daughter Robin and her husband Mitch. This is truly a great loss. All of us who had the wonderful experience of knowing Pat, share the appreciation of her genuine spirit of sharing and her dedication to researching the Blanchard families. Our List should consider it a privilege to have been able to work with Pat to make some of her research efforts available to the Internet community. Fletch
