Steve & Art -- I have been working for months with someone who is, as yet, an untapped Amador County resource. This old family friend (an almost lifelong Amador resident) has a wealth of Amador information and was ready to share same with listers. However, due to events of June 1 (subtle enough, Steve?), the offer has now been withdrawn. As a result, no only have my time and effots been wasted, but Amador researchers will not have the benefits of this person's knowledge. Let's stop the not so subtle "genie wars" and get back to business at hand -- researching our Amador roots. AND remember the saying "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar".
