And a Happy New Year from Oregon. Looks like a the far east has made it through to the year 2000 just find. Oregon will be one of the last parts of the globe to move into that time. It is interesting to me, as an amateur genealogist and historian, that an arbitrary date can cause so much fear. We are all blessed as a family to have such a connection and understanding of the past as it helps us to look to the future without fearing the uncertainties that every day hold. Have a great New Years.
