Hi Tim and Judy and all, Sorry about the e-mail mix-up. I wrote you after my surgeries & wondered why you didn't answer. They went just fine. They did one eye right before Christmas and one right after. For the first time in my life since I was 7 I had great eyesight without thick glasses! Then my sight started to go again and soon it was just as bad as before the surgeries. The Dr. said, "Oh, no biggie. A few people get the same protein fibers in the tissue that holds the lens in place as those that caused the cataracts." He just went zap-zap-zap in each eye with his little laser and I can see clearly again. Then in May my spouse had gall bladder surgery, and they discovered a hiatal hernia. We're just starting to get a little bit back to normal. I just signed back on the mailing list this week. I just want everyone to know I've sent the 1930 images to Josh and they should be available for the archives very soon. They are also looking for the 1870 transcription that Shawn Martin and her daughter did a couple of years ago ( ! ) and the 1920 transcription that Shawn and I (mostly Shawn) did that same summer. Those should also be available for the archives soon. Shawn and I may have to redo a couple of wards for the 1870, but that shouldn't take too long. I'm truly sorry. I requested to get the archives and the mailing list back after I recovered from the surgeries, but I can't have them back as long as the present volunteer wants them, and he did volunteer to take them when I had to abandon you guys. How are Roy and Sherry and Harold and Gloria and Gaylon and everyone out there doing? I've missed you guys.
