Jean if people like us didn't help each other where would we be?? However I learned about and old cookbook that my dads sister's had of information on the Taylor's my father is from.I email a I guess you would say a cousin in Portland Oregon where the Aunt had lived, asking if they were familar with this coobook and if I could get the information in it.They can keep the book I just wanted the information in it.Well she emailed me back saying she had to cookbook and would send me copies of information in it,I offered to Pay them for it .Well needless to say I am still waiting for the copies and that was last August or September.If it was me I would be glad to pass on the information,because these people are only gratgrandchildren to one of the Aunts that died.Oh well maybe someday I will get this information and wont need there help.If I bored you I am sorry .Shirley theshadow wrote: > <LOLOLOL> Sorry, Bill, but I had to laugh as this is typical of some of the requests > I get also.
