Plaudits to our President Rochelle COCHRAN and editor of "Compass" for another outstanding issue. Thank you for the pictures of our officers and board of directors. I would like to call attention to p12 "Boone Boys, Frontiersmen" by Doug BOONE, editor. Pate BOONE named Thomas Payton "Pate" BOONE. He is a descendant of Jonathan BOONE b 1750 and Susannah NIXON b 1751. A most interesting book, the rist privately printed editon of Thomas Payton BOONE was dedicated in 1976 by Pecos Pate himself, according to p5 of this book and rewritten and published in 2004 by Clyde Douglas BOONE. If you descend from this line you may find this book quite interesting. I did. DDorthy MACK
