Another list started this, and I thought it an excellent idea. I'd surely like to chat up Charles Woods, physician, of St. Croix (ca 1750-1810). Or perhaps his granddaughter Mary Jane Woods (1829-1892). My dear mother, who is 91, told me once that she fervently hoped there would be a kind of receiving line in heaven, so that when one arrives, one might finally meet one's ancestors. "How do you do? You know, I've always wondered about you . . . " Not a bad concept, no? Cheers everyone. Laura in a balmy North Carolina
