Hi List, I must confess that I am ignorant when it comes to Screen Actors and their Guild. I have just received an obit on a cousin who was treasurer for the Screen Actors Guild for 25 years. Did you have to be some kind of actor/actress to hold this office in the guild or could anyone have this job? She lived in Santa Barbara. I know this part may mean nothing. She was also a realtor for 35 years. She did change her name. I found her name and info when I obtained the death certificate for a grandaunt. This person was listed as her niece.

Elementary school and street named DRIFFILL in present Oxnard....who were they named after? Any leads would be apprecitated. Thank you.

Hi List, I hope I am just about done with all my questions. Every place does things a little different. Where would I write to see if there was a will filed in Oxnard? I know the date of death and the person's name. Is there an e-mail address where I can contact the office to see about obtaining a will? Calling long-distance is not an option for me. I am on a limited income from SS. I would rather e-mail than wait on the pony express to get the request to the proper person. Thanks in advance. Sue macduff@infi.net
