Hi folks, I would like to mark the passing of my husband's great-great Aunt Polly. Aunt Polly was the baby of 10 children ranging in birth from 1887 to 1907. She was a terrific lady who had a very strong sense of her Hancock heritage and she held some 5 generations of Hancocks together as family for 94 years. She was a tiny little lady who had definite opinions on the way things were supposed to be and one of her last requests was that the family continue on as it has in the past. This coming June will be the first time in 94 years that Aunt Polly will not be at the Hancock Reunion---but the rest of us will be there. Aunt Polly told us to.

Amen.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Thomson" <rthomson@worldharvesters.com> To: <HANCOCK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2001 2:19 PM Subject: RE: [HANCOCK-L] On the passing of a Hancock... Jean, One of our (my wife and me) greatest regrets is that we did not listen to the older generations as well as we might, and did not begin to record the little we knew until the entire prior generation had passed. How very blessed you are to have been able to share so much with one who had lived almost the entire century, and could share so much with you (and you with her). All of us who are doing any work in this field need to encourage the next generation to pick up where we are, and to not let our family histories die from neglect.
