Hi Stella, Thanks- you always have such good ideas! Marlinna said she'd look it up, thanks. And Blair checked the website. And Ines volunteered to check it on her holidays! ( I got a request from the RAOGK, even though I don't list obit lookups as my volunteer contribution. I wasn't feeling too organized, so I just sent off a message to see if anyone could find it for him.) I should have known the people on the list would help out in many different ways! :-) I can't tell you how many times I've heard from people who say this is a great bunch of people! Thanks! RAOGK sent a disturbing message today, saying that they suspect that some professional researchers are getting the RAOGK volunteers to look up information and then turning around and charging their clients for it.! I'm sure this is a very rare thing and will try not to let it make me suspicious. I feel a Desiderata quote coming on! :-) "Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism ."
