I know this is kind of LATE in the way of a reply to all the hubbub about the discussion on Craig characteristics, but, I think is great!!!! How many times I have wished soooooooo much I could have known my great grandpa Craig. Mom said he was kind of tall. I know he had a farm and later sold real estate in NE Ohio, but, that's not nearly as much as I would LIKE to know. Part of him, SOME part of him is in me, and I would like to know what part. I agree with the one who said, genealogy is more than a bunch of names and dates. Its a beautiful tapestry we are trying to recreate. I want more than names and dates. I long to have pictures, letters, anything which tells me about them as real living flesh and blood. Names and dates with nothing else is pretty boring. Pictures are exciting, however they are painted with words, descriptions, habits, etc. I would greatly appreciate folks being a little more tolerant of people's preferences on this list. We don't all have to be the same and have the same ideas. Let's be patient with each other and try to help each other rather than tear each other down. Sincerely, Melanie (Mullet) Shepherd
