Hi Robyn and all Listers, If you go to the NAA page at; National Aldrich Association - See http://members.xoom.com/jaldrich/ for more information. There are photo's of George's new (1998) plaque and stone at the Old Cemetery in Mendon.. Not sure what other pictures are there.. However if you go to. http://www.wellswooster.com/tommies/cem_photos the David Thompson researchers page, You will also find some photo's of Mendon buildings and etc. My scanner is broken, probably will cost as much to repair as to buy a new one. I am looking into that now.. then I could send you more photo's by private mail, as attachments, as soon as I am up and running again. :) Robyn remind me in 3 weeks or so. Memory is the first to go, :) In the meantime , Happy Hunting Alice

On that list you can click on "Jim's Photos" and see some pics that I took in Mendon & Uxbridge last Oct. when Alice so kindly showed my wife & me around the area. The pictures include: Plaque at Aldrich-Cook Cemetery in Uxbridge Plaque at Friends Meeting House where Moses Aldrich preached George Aldrich Monument Moses Aldrich's Grave Stone I could have added more pictures, but I was afraid that I was using more than my share of file space available on the site. Feel free to copy any of my photos that you want. If you want to credit me for the pictures, that's fine, but I won't send the copyright police after you if you don't. Jim Bullock Littleton, CO
