Hi Pat, I thought perhaps new listmembers would like to know how to find Jim to resource the Rasmussen information for them. Although Jim is not a GOLDRUSH listmember he is available through the site below along with GOLDRUSH listmembers Yvonne and Cindy (I don't know if the other two volunteers (Jean and Teddy) are GOLDRUSH listmembers). For a list of these volunteers and others see the NORCAL Library (hosted by Yvonne Bowers of NORCAl fame and fellow GOLDRUSH listmember) : http://www.sonic.net/yvonne/norcallib.html This is another great resource to include in your California Research Volunteers bookmark file.
