Good morning, Everyone, I made 2 phone calls this morning: Wanda B. Oates whose husband is a cousin of John's is definitely not able to do anything about getting a copy of the book that John Martin Oates, Jr., wrote on "John George Kornegay 1670 - 1711". She gave me John's phone # and I called him and we talked about 15 minutes. Because he did not make any $ on having the bound books done on the first go around, is the reason for not doing more books. He has agreed to do a loose sheet copy of the book for me for $25. I am going to purchase it anyway because he gave me permission to copy anything from it to anyone who requests any info from the book. In fact he gave a blanket permission for anyone who already has the book to go ahead and copy from the book to anyone's request. His attitude is "it is for sharing". One of the things I would also mention is that John Oates said he was not real happy about the information being given out on the internet about the possibility of people being able to get a copy of the book from him or Wanda. He felt that he should have been talked with before that ever happened. He was very gracious and said he was willing to help me at this point though. So I will have a copy of the book by next week. This was a lesson to be learned by everyone this week. Sue Meinhart in southern CA
