Cheryl, Did you see my email a few weeks ago about the cemetary at Homberg on the Cletcher property. I believe there were Clanahans buried there? Looks like I'm going to cancel my apex address for good until summer. Since I am allowed use of this computer, I'm going to use it until school is out. Good thing, I am only 1/2 mile away from my classroom.
