Hi all. It was just brought to my attention by a list member that some of the email that is gatewayed from the message boards were from addresses that don't exist. Unfortunately, I haven't been watching the lists close enough and those messages slipped past me. It's not that the addresses from the senders don't work, it's that the messages were actually spam. Because messages posted on the message boards are automatically gatewayed the the corresponding lists, there is nothing I can do about them. These spam messages are usually detected by the message board moderator and then deleted, but by that time, they've already come through on the lists. My suggestion is that if you see a message that you are interested in that has been gatewayed, click on the link that takes you directly to the message board. If a screen comes up with the message, you can be pretty sure it's legitimiate, however if a screen comes up saying the message doesn't exist, it was most likely spam that was deleted. A word of caution, a lot of these messages that are really spam have a link inside the message that takes you to another site (such as ebay, etc.). For most of the lists I moderate, it's not really a problem, maybe only a dozen messages a so a year are gatewayed, but for the Black, Barringer, and Bradford lists, the majority of messages seem to be gatewayed. I believe these gatewayed messages are valuable to the list members as a whole, there are just a few bad seeds, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the bad seeds. Good luck all with your research.

John King McLanahan Stevens Are Married in Beautiful Ceremony at St. John’s Church Here By Elizabeth Williams Miss Carol Brooks Bradford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Watson Richardson, became the bride of Capt. John King McLanahan Stevens, son of Mrs. William Hatton Stevens, and the late Mr. Stevens of New York City and Hollidaysburg, Pa. in a beautiful ceremony last evening at 8 o’clock at St. John’s Episcopal church. Rev. Jeffery Alfriend solemnized the ring ceremony. Dignity and beauty characterized the church decorations of all white and green. White gladioli in brass urns and lighted white tapers in brass candelabra were placed on the altar, and on either side of the chancel were arrangements of white gladioli. Selections from Brahms, Grieg, Wagner, Beethoven and Elgar made up a program of wedding music played by Mrs. Ben Meginnis, organist. The traditional wedding marches were used for the processional and the recessional. During the ceremony the wedding hymn by Barnby, O Perfect Love, was played. The bride’s attendants were Miss Betty Ann Campbell, Miss Letitia Shaw, Miss Mamie Hedgepath, of Tallahassee, Miss Betsy Stevens of New York City, sister of the bridegroom, and Mrs. Fred Houligan, of Panama City, sister of the bride. Lt. Louis Spillman of Winston-Salem, N. C. served as best man for Capt. Stevens. Ushers were Frank S. Shaw, Lt. Jack Yaeger, Edwin Richardson of Tallahassee, Fred Houligan of Panama City and Lt. Eubanks Barnhill of Baker, Fla. The bride entered the church on the arm of her stepfather, Edward Watson Richardson, by whom she was given in marriage. Her exquisite bridal gown of white Skinner’s satin accentuated her brunette beauty. The sweetheart neckline of the gown was embroidered in pearl beads, and the long sleeves came to points over the wrists. The graceful skirt was paneled in front, and the back formed a full length cathedral train. The bridal veil of sheerest illusion was of four tiers, two of shoulder length and two which fell to the end of the bride’s train. The veil was caught in a bandeau of satin beaded in pearls. The bride carried a white prayer book with white camellias in tufts of white illusion. Satin ribbon among the leaves of the prayer book was caught in lovers knots. Attendant’s Gowns The bride’s attendants wore white gowns of similar design. The long bodices of embroidered net were scalloped at the waistline and low back line and featured sweetheart necklines. Dainty shoulder bands of net were fashioned to form cape sleeves, and large bows of net trimmed the left shoulders. The attendants’ bouquets were of red Better Times roses arranged in cascade effect surrounded by pleated white net. Matching satin bows completed the lovely effect. Mrs. Richardson, mother of the bride, wore a milgrim gown designed with a sky blue lace waist embroidered in sequins. The slim black crepe skirt was slit up the front. She wore a hair arrangement of pink Debutante camellias. Mrs. Stevens, mother of the bridegroom, was attired in grey silk made with a rhinestone sprinkled net yoke. At the belt she wore a corsage of Rose Dawn camellias, and her accessories carried out the contrasting theme of the camellias. The bride is a descendant of one of Tallahassee’s oldest families. Her paternal grandparents were John Taylor and Ida Brooks Bradford. Her mother is the former Miss Daisy Bullard of Tampa and her father the late John Richard Bradford of Tallahassee. Her maternal grandparents were Daniel Wesley and Louida Bullard of Tampa. The bride is a native of Tampa and received her early education in Tampa schools. She was graduated from Leon High School and was an attendant in the May Day Court during her senior year. She is a member of the senior class at Florida State College for Women where she is a member of Chi Omega social sorority. The bridegroom attended Lenox school at Lenox, Mass., and Washington and Jefferson college where he was a member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity. His mother is the former Miss Helen Spendley McLanahan. Capt. Stevens has recently returned to the United States from the Pacific theater of operations wher he received decorations for action as a Thunderbolt pilot.
