It's nice of you to respond to our family message boards. I enjoy knowing there are more of us out there somewhere. I'm gonna post my address if you want to write me. I'd love to hear anything you might want to share with me. If you haven't read a post from last month, I'm having to tell you that we lost a member of the Gorham family on Feb. 23, earlier this year 2003. Enrique 'Henry' Gorham was my grandfather. He was born August 21, 1918, in Chamal. He was the son of William Arthur Gorham, the oldest child and last living of the boys(age 84 at his death). He leaves behind 3 living sisters, Sarah, Lila, and Maria. They all live here in Houston. He raised me, along with my grandmother, Anna Mae(Kinnard) Gorham from birth, so he is my daddy for always. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting extended family of the Gorham name except for those that have lived here. I noticed you mentioned Oregon. That's a long ways from here. I know that the Chamal-Blalock Colony 100th year c! elebration is this November. I wish to go but it's difficult with 3 young children. I guess I can wait 'til it rotates back to San Antonio or Houston. Well Roberta, you can e-mail me at this address: JennyDrew22@aol.com, whenever you want to share any information. Or you can write me at: 7426 Dallas, Houston, TX 77011. I'm somewhat young but I love sharing our family's past. Daddy left behind 10 children (including myself), 31 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren, and 1 g-g-grandchild. Just to let you know that we are a big bunch now. And what I wish for is that there would have been more boys left to pass down the Gorham name. Hahahahaha. I believe there are only 5 possibilities left, what a shame. Not that we love them any less of course. Alright, well keep in touch. Take care and God bless. Jenny Gorham- Galvan
