Dear Markham group.. i have been a member of the list for several years now and last year we did have some of the members bickering about non-genealogy subjects.. and it WAS quite disruptive to the list.. Brenda has always tried her best to keep things on an even keel and to keep us all focused on what we joined the list for in the 1st place... genealogy.. i am sorry to see her go and offer her my best wishes.. she deserves the best. chatty
