A wise person knows that they will or should be eager to learn something new from every person they meet along the way. This lesson might just go double for people looking for information related to geneology as frankly you never know where you'll find it. Just a tiny bit of information might just lead to someone else who knows something they are willing to share! As a side note, I found some pictures my Grandfather took in the 1912's or so of other couples who'd have been his friends. Now I'll be posting this on the Crawford county website --- again who'd give a flip unless well this is the GRANDCHILDREN of a family named Carl Sturges! And I'd bet they'd love to see pictures of their grandparents as I have quite a few I'd love to share. So wouldn't it be way to bad if something like this were 'worthless' chatter and those pictures never allowed them to get to know their grandparents like I'm getting to know a man I never really knew? (It is such a treat to see him doing NORMAL things like washing his shirt in a creek on a camping trip at about 20 years of age in 1915!!!) Marge
