Hello Ginger, Good to hear from you. I had dinner with Keith Hume and his wife Iris last week. We engaged in some great conversation and I really enjoyed myself. I hope someday to get to Providence. I imagine I will plan a New England Adventure sometime soon to do some research and to see what it is like there. From Salem, Massachusetts, to Providence, Rhode Island, is not so far really. And from there, it's not particularly far to D.C. to take a look at the Banks Manuscripts at the Library of Congress. While I am in Providence, I will call on the Sherman Family as well of course. :) Cheers, Jeffrey Chace > > > This was a welcome remark from Jeffrey.
