Greetings Everyone, I hope the March weather is pleasant for everyone. Here in MA/CT we have have finally been blessed with the arrival of winter! It was a little late, but has decided to bless us with snow right before Spring starts. It's hard to believe we can mark the turning of the season with Easter in a couple of weeks. I'm so glad that the Berkshire List missed me...(even though I wasn't really gone! I suppose I should have announced my name change a year and a half ago---I just assumed that people would understand that it was the same Dawn...hehehe) and the Hampden GenWeb site is being explored. I intend to answer everyone's e-mails, and post all the information you are giving me for the website. I intend to finish updating the Hampden website, too. I would just like to ask for your patience while doing so. I recently started a new job during the day, and I still work a couple nights a week at the Olive Garden. So 60 hours a week of work leaves me little time for genealogical fun! Plus I still occasionally take clients for genealogical research, which ties up my genealogy time. I also have two beautiful daughters who still like me! (I'm going to enjoy that while it lasts!) Thanks for your understanding and patience!!! And please keep e-mailing me and giving me information for the website. I'll also try to put together a genealogical how-to guide since A LOT of e-mails are often asking me where to turn to for information. Bright Blessings & Happy Spring, Dawn Newton
