Hi Wendy, I see you haven't had that baby yet! While you still have some free time, let me ask you about Malinda's kids. I only have a teeny bit on Ersie and 0 on the other three. I have Ersie as married to Fred DeWitt with a daughter Banna DeWitt who married Wallace Menear. Their daughter being Thelma Menear. Which is about all I have on Ersie....no dates, places, etc. Can you give me any additional data on Malinda's four?

No, I haven't had the baby yet and according to the doctor this morning - it doesn't look like it will be happening anytime too soon. I am not due until Dec. 18th, but I hope the baby comes early. I don't want to spend Christmas in the hospital. :-) Take care, Wendy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
