Delilah and Earlene: My scanner is not working but I will do something so that you can get the photo. Bertha Mae Gass told me that Jim Avans taught penmanship and I do have a sample of his writing that he sent to my grandparents. Will get copies of that. Hang on and I will get it done. Right now I am having some health problems, damn it, and am not as efficient as I was when I was 20, or 30, etc. Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: Delilah To: GADADE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 10:02 AM Subject: Re: [GADADE] Earleen me to delilah ----- Original Message ----- From: "earleene" <erpre@earthlink.net> To: <GADADE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 21, 2004 11:37 AM Subject: Re: [GADADE] Earleen > paul could you scan it to me? earleene > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Paul Vance" <paulvance@msn.com> > To: <GADADE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 11:37 PM > Subject: [GADADE] Earleen > > > > I have a picture of Aunt Sophia.
