Hi there Keith and all of the Chase Clan, First of all I would like to make reference to the problems with the Ged Coms. I know we are all tired of the subject. As they say in the South---LISTEN UP YA' ALL---In my opinion the problems with the Ged Com are not with Keiths computer etc.---at least they aren't in my case. I was told by AOL Technicians that I need to install Win Zip and then send the information. I intend to do just that. PLease be patient. I've had a lot on my plate lately and can't seem to find time to spend more than a very few minutes on the computer, but that will change soon. Your report of spending the time on Veteran's Day was extremely interesting, Keith. The story about your father's experiences add to good historical reading. I have an idea of where you were over that day (Nov.11). We found the area you speak of our favorite in France and the people who live nearby receptive to Americans. At least they were when we were there a few years ago. We liked the food there too. Yes, we observe Veteran's Day here very seriously. In fact, the Renaissance Brass Group which I am a member of gave a concert on that day for a good sized audience of mostly retired veterans. There was even one Veteran of WWI there to honor. In fact, the lady who organized the function was a Sylvia Chase. We attended another function in honor of Armistice Day that same evening which included dinner and dancing to Big Band music. It was my husband's first big day out after his surgery in September so we were especially happy. We are indeed grateful to Keith for his long hours of work gathering together the data base. One of these days all of the info. will be merged and perhaps we will find a book is ready to print giving all of the links from Chase to Chase all over the world. The computer is wonderful and I am glad some of you Chases understand how it works. You all have been very patient with those of us who don't understand its inner workings. Ginger in Az.
