Thanks Larry. I hope Lanita will not censor me for putting the notice on the list. I'm trying not to be commercial as that is not the intent. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Wyatt" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 4:46 PM Subject: RE: [MO-OREGON-HISTORY] researchers >I can recommend Max's book as I've been reading the copy I got from him and > it's very well written.

CENSOR???? WHO??? ME???? You gotta be kidding!! It has everything to do with our area, and I appreciate you taking care of the business off the list. Nothing will be censored if it has to do with genealogy or the area so, you're cool!! Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.
