I hope I don't get in trouble with Sharon for posting this on the GAWARE list. But if anybody is interested. I recieved two copies of the Hoot Owl about a month ago. I understand those will be the last ones published and I will miss it. I found out my gr-grandpa JB Nunez, Sr was a member of the IOOF in Waycross in 1900. I'd like to read the rest of the newspaper articles. I sent a check to Linda Angell to renew my membership in the OHGS and she returned it. I'd like to thank Linda for all the hard work she's done on the Hoot Owl. I'm praying for her health right now and maybe she will be able to persue her genealogical interests in the future. Ray

Ray, It was only the business part that we didn't need to discuss on the list. We are ALWAYS interested hearing about our fellow researcher's success stories. We like to rejoice with you, AND it encourages us not to give up, and to keep on trying. I am thrilled for you learning about your great grandfather NUNEZ. I agree there were some mighty fine articles in the OHGS quarterlies, they will be missed by many. Since Linda got the old newspapers on micro-film...surely those would be available somewhere? Maybe someone on the list can tell us. You are very correct that there are many good facts about our ancestors listed in the old papers. I join you in hoping good health for Linda, and that she will be able to again enjoy her love of genealogy. When we get to the point we can't say something like that on the list, well we've gone too far. This has always been a family oriented list, and the members have always encouraged and helped one another....that is what has made it so great. We haven't forgotten that behind the screen names are 'real people' with human needs, feelings and yes frailities...this group at GAWARE has the biggest hearts around. Whether sharing genealogy or offering prayers and encouragement, none better than here.
