To all, I completely agree with Jerry. Paul and I are planning to drive from CA; the good Lord and our little car willing. We don't know what our schedule will be, and don't know a thing about Union Parish. While we would be glad to dive in and help where ever we can while there, we would hate to make a committment that we couldn't keep. At the same time, I know what it's like to shoulder all the responsiblility for a structured event... and would hate to see that happen to my newly acquired friends! So, we planning on be there the last weekend of May... but BE KIND TO YOURSELVES... we don't need a lot of structure... just a chance to meet friends and exchange research and family tradition. BJ PS... Believe Sally (Addie Mae Hale) is offline for awhile... but she is looking forward to being there also!!!
