Hello, Carolyn and List Members -- I just received great information from volunteer Alma in Merced County, and I am posting it to this list so it will go into the CAMARIPO archives for posterity and in case any more cousins turn up. All you volunteers in the various counties are just wonderful and such good people to do this for those of us who can't come down there in person!!
