I wanted to take a minute as we approach Christmas and the end of the year to thank you for all you've done to help genealogists with Idaho ancestry. The work and the care you put into your IDGENWEB sites is greatly appreciated, by me and by your visitors. And I hope it is fun for you too. I know that my participation in IDGENWEB has brightened up my year and helped me to know you a little bit better. Christmas is an especially meaningful and enjoyable time within my family, as a spiritual highlight of our year, and as a time to show and express love one to another. I realize that some of you may not feel the same way about this particular holiday, but I hope this holiday and whatever others are meaningful to you and your family are filled with joy and love. I've grown to know that families can be a source of inspiration and happiness, and I enjoy and appreciate mine - both those I know through our common interaction in life, and those I only know through my study of genealogy. I owe much to the actions and character of those I inherited my characteristics and values from. And friends can by the same sort of source - you have become such to me. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Mike St. Clair State Coordinator - IDGENWEB
