Julia: Sorry to hear about the loss of Dale. He was a good one. Annie and I have been "retired" from genealogy research for quite some time. Now well into our eighties and slowing down a bit. I still have my database and refer to it rather frequently. I do miss the days when we had so many cousins actively sharing information and helping each other. Thanks for your excellent leadership over the years. I extend greetings and best wishes to all the cousins for a healthy and productively 2013.  Arvil On Dec 29, 2012, at 12:35:38 PM, JULIAFWOOD@aol.com wrote: From: JULIAFWOOD@aol.com Subject: [HANCOCK] Hoping that all is well. Date: December 29, 2012 12:35:38 PM PST To: hancock@rootsweb.com Dear Hancock family, I have just received a notice that our dear friend, Dale Hancock, of  Mississippi passed away on December 17th and know that many of you would want to  know. Odessa & Helene and I decided that since we haven't heard from many of our  Hancock friends here on the Hancock list in a long while, it is time that  we all checked in and said hello and maybe you will give us an update on  what is happening with you and yours. I am the same (just a lot older). Still doing genealogy research as often  as possible, among other hobbies and have 10 grandchildren to keep me  hopping.
