Hi, JC, good to see your post on the Murray List. I can't remember what state you live in. We had emailed a couple of times about a year ago when you confirmed that you were a retired LEO. You and my husband, Ed Loesche, have been sending jokes back and forth for quite some time now. He told me that your son was one of the fire fighters in our county this summer. He might be surprised if he could see our skies today. Heavy black clouds, and we've gotten flash flood watches issued for our county and several others in Colorado. I hope your son wasn't injured during the fires. If he's ever back in this area, firefighting or just visiting, we'd be happy to have him stop by. I wanted to ask for a favor, if you might consider helping us out with something. And it would be helpful if I knew what state you're living in. Thanks for your time, Sheila McLemore (Ed Loesche's wife), formerly of Murray County (Chatsworth). > I suspect my ancestry on my father side to be Cherokee from NC Supposedly my > > G grandfather (JOHNSON)(Cherokee descent)married into a fairly prominent > family in Whitfield Co.
