I am not leaving this surname list because anyother member. I am finding that no matter what you have people are either for or against something. That is our choice. We live in America where we have choices. I think some of us have forgotten what the DELETE KEY is for. I read what email I want to and I delete what I don't want to read. It is that simple. I have no opinion to express about any of the mail going acorss the board. We are all emotional and frustrated , we handle things differently. That is what makes all of us so great. I too am hunting for my families just as everyone else on the list is. I also know they will not be going any where in the next week or so. Life is too short to be bickering amongst ourselves. I love you all and hope you all find your past. G.Pahl A friend is a gift you give yourself.
