Nancy, I know how you feel about some of the Halls,,,I have some in my data base also that will not share,,I guess it is in the Hall nature. My Father would not give you the time of the day,,but he would take all you would give him and more. I have been told his Father was the same way. Makes you wonder if this is one of the Halls traits through out all of the Halls. My Father is about 97 now and he has not changed, but I still love him. Take care and may God Bless,,,,, Jessie & Lynne Hall http://www.geocities.com/heartland/woods/5549 ----- Original Message ----- From: nancy johnson <nancykay1@netscape.net> To: <HALL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2000 10:42 PM Subject: Why we do it! > Pat, > Your "letter" brought tears to my eyes.
