I would like to thank our son Kevin R. Gorby who served for 12 years with the Special Operations (Ops), in the US Air Force. He served in Desert Storm and unfortunately contracted recurring Meningitis during this time. He was medically discharged and now he is totally disabled from this devastating virus. May God bless him, his wife and two children for they have truly given more than most of us to make certain we are free. Linda K.

An intolerance for irrelevancies and an inability to filter out unneeded information are not positive traits in genealogists. -- List admin. darrellm@sprynet.com To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetidW1&sourceid37
