I would like to see our Maupin board build up into a nice research site to help other people. I do wish there was a board for posting old photos. PLEASE, all who are attending the picnic in Santa Barbara, a week from today, who have not e-mailed me in the last week, DO! I'm trying to get an idea of how many to expect in regard to table space needed, etc.. I am sorry to report that cousin Jeanne Fruh will not be able to make it due to health problems. The Maupin family coat of arms flag/banner we intend to fly at the picnic is in the last stages of completion. That will be the item to look for in the park so you will know where we are since none of we have ever met. Best, Cousin Sandi :)
