Boschong Subscribers, I see where Rick has announced on his List, the name of the participant in the DNA test in the Joseph Hill Bushong lineage, s/o of James Bushong and Drusilla Stout. That means that Rick must have arrived in Arizona to visit his father, since his father told me last month that his son was coming to the States this month. Some of the information posted to the other List is incorrect. It is true that Richard Benjamin Bushong Sr., father of Rick Bushong, submitted to the Bushong DNA project. He did so willingly because I called him directly on the telephone, explained to him who I was, and what I wanted, was totally honest with him, telling him about the hostility between Rick and myself. He gladly said he would participate. A very nice, cordial and understanding man. I did this because we needed another participant from the James Bushong and Druscilla Stout line to be tested to rule on where the Mitchell came into the picture and he was the likely candidate. Rick had adamantly told me in no uncertain terms that neither he nor anyone else in his family would participate in the DNA testing as long as I was the Administrator of the project. I called his bluff. To correct the misinformation on the other List, those that paid for the test were: Gloria Neiger Bushong, John and Ann Fahay, and Susan Lund. The test cost $154 and we split it 3 ways. The DNA kit was ordered by me on 26 February. It usually takes about 4 weeks from the time it is returned to the Lab to get the first results which puts the date around the beginning of April if we are lucky. Herb Bushong was NOT the contributor of the testing for Richard Benjamin Bushong Sr. as I told you above. However Herb did pay for the testing of Steve Bosang and we all greatly appreciate that. Everyone else who has participated has paid for their own testing. There's no doubt that Herb is a wonderful guy and so is his wife and a willing helper with research as you all well know from past posts. He also did a lot of leg work for Carol W. Bell for the Bushong Bulletins. And lastly another participant, off of Andreas, is paying for his own test to be done. He told me he is ordering his Kit today. Gloria Neiger Bushong

Adjustment on date for Lab results for Richard Benjamin Bushong Sr. I checked with the Lab this afternoon and they are now telling me that the results won't be in until May 10. They must have a lot of lab work from other surnames. So we wait. Please someone post to the other List and correct the misinformation on it.
