Ken, I have noticed the same thing. Have to admit I haven't made any postings lately, though. Reckon it's the season. List, I am still looking for a specimen of the signature of Francois Hoffpauer, son of the patriarch. His is the only one I lack in the 8 generations of my line (or my son's line...he's the 8th). Any clues you can give would be appreciated. Happy holidays. Archie Hoffpauir
