Jan, that was a fine piece. I mean, all your reminiscences are wonderful, but I had tears in my eyes all the way through that one. Thank you for sharing your writing with us. I, for one, am honored. My folks' home places are either long gone, or still being lived in, but I have treasured items from their lives. Juliane Gale Bertagne p.s. Am praying for Gabbie, and hoping nothing is seriously wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2000 4:00 PM Subject: DanvilleCrossing-D Digest V00 #263
