I don't know about them but Barb Gay may know someone jimgay@adams.net What you were saying about interest is what I have found also in the Ruble line. One or two people are interested if I give them all the information but very few are willing to help and look to see what they have in their records. I guess the bug has not hit everyone like it has us.
