Yes, that is it. Sorry I forgot to mention that it was Duluth. Are there mainly homes, and no hotels, etc.? Vince Barb Werner wrote: > > Vince, > > Was this in Duluth?

Vince, I would guess that the "r" in the record you have with his address would stand for "residence" rather than "renter", particularly in that area of Duluth. However, not knowing the source, this is only a guess. Also, his age might be a factor - if he was young, it's possible that he was renting a room in one of the fine old houses, or even employed by the owner, or a student at the college, renting a room. If he was older, my guess would be that he owned the house (residence). Just some food for thought.... Carole At 8/1/2001 10:28 PM, you wrote: >Yes, that is it.
