I concur with the sentiment about Gladys Royer. A few years ago she helped me with my distant Brethren relatives who moved to the Goshen area and unfortunately never coordinated our schedules to meet her. I have already referenced her work in some of my research whenever it gets published and added a link to her obituary on my web site to the Goshen News http://www.goshennews.com/obituaries/local_story_066101224.html . Hopefully they will leave her obituary on the internet for eternity, but it is archived on this list.
