Sandi--At the reunion, Bill Albertson said that his "favorite" line was the John Maupin /Sally Crossthwaite line. I can't remember why he said it was his favorite--it is not his line, but he told why. Maybe someone else will remember. Love, Denise

Hi Cousins, First, I want to thank all of you who attended the reunion at C'ville; it was a wonderful gathering. For those who couldn't be there, we missed you and hope you will be able to join us at a future one - or at least a local reunion. The trip to Williamsburg was both friendly and informative. Watch for announcements, suggestions and requests about possible MAUPIN research groups I am aware that there are already several reunions, Sandi has started a new one that I hope will become as routine as has the one in Missouri. Interest was expressed that perhaps one will get started in Texas. Second, I want to thank all those that were concerned about my health and aided me during the reunion. Those that were betting on an ear problem being the cause - win. Mostly due to the BIG change in altitude, and something to do with calendar pages. By now many of you have recieved your packages and information from White Hall. Bill still had some to finish when I left. I am still wadding through more than 1000 e-mails that arrived during my vacation, mostly from this list. What a bunch of cousins. The statement that Bill (William) made concerning the family of John MAUPIN and Sally CROTHWAITE was an expression of his interest in this line. The reasons are several. but mostly concern the fact that this is the most unknown and least documentated line in the family. Some parts of this line may also interconnect with that of Carr MAUPIN. The families extend from the upper Madison County (The MAUPIN Bend) area to the Clay/Laurel County area of Kentucky to several Missouri Counties and back. Dorothy has ordered 300+ copies of the book. She does not plan to put out any suppliments. When the books are received in Kansas City, Bill, and possibly myself, will go up and help her get them put in the mail. This will be the 2nd edition, 2nd printing: NO changes to the previous edition. At the reunion she stated $40 per book - in spite of several objections. I think that was to include postage, but I need to recheck that. My mind wasn't all it should have been during the reunion. SUPPLIMENTS: A couple of ideas are in the mill. 1. Bill has expressed the idea of using a family line at a time as the feature article in the news letter. 2. A representative (group) publish a suppliment, on their line, and make it available to the family through the internet. CORRECTIONS: Corrections to Dot's book should be submitted both to her and to the list. That way she has them and can work with them in her way and the rest of us can update our material. A SUGGESTION was put forth that the next = BIG = reunion be held in Madison County, Kentucky, in 5 or 10 years. Three of us went to the UV library and made copies of the MAUPIN - JEFFERSON letters. They are in "Old" FRENCH and appear to be very generic. Bill was going to take a copy to Dr. King for translation. Enough for now. Perhaps some of this will be answered as I read through all of these e-mails. If so please forgive me for getting ahead of the mail. If I miss anything let me know and I'll try to fill in the gaps. I learned a lot - met a lot of wonderful people - and even more - WISH I knew then (when young and in the service) what I know now.

Hi Pat, At this time there will be NO changes to the book. Corrections will be announced at reunions and through the newsletter.
