Betty, You are my dear friend and I'm not offended. In a hurry, yes. :>) Probably should not have even checked the email because now I will read it all instead of eating lunch before work.

Cathi, How can it be that I have a copy of your book before you? It is an amazing work, many hours had to have been spent and I am still trying to digest it. I love the historical perspectives, news articles etc. that you've included, they do a lot to turn the "begats" into real people. I, personally, can't thank you enough for your work. I'm really looking forward to my time in Germany and hope that I can find out even a little tiny piece of information that is new. It will be enough to simply visit the area where the ancestors once walked. And pictures, lots and lots of pictures!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------- From: "Cathi Clore Frost" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 20, 2010 4:55 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Extended Stay in Germany > Betty, > > You are my dear friend and I'm not offended.
