I am sure it is a solid achievement and a welcome and long overdue improvement. Congratulations!!! I also am pleased with your offer to share it with me. I will use it and treasure it. I must regretfully decline your invitation to collaborate again. We made a decent try many decades ago and it did not work out very well for either of us. I am now aboout 80. My health and energy level are poor. My writing block has worsened with aging.. Continue on with your work by all means, including making it more available to others. I will send information from time to time. For the GenWeb audience: There is no better source on McCargar history than Dennis, whose address is posted on this board....Sometimes the collaboratve efforts of two well-intentioned people do not work out. Sad, certainly, but real life. Aging also is a fact of life. My sixty odd years of experience with McCargar history, admittedly limited, is at your disposal. Regards, Robert S.
