Hi Monte, Do you have present day NICHOLS in Mt. Vernon? When I was a little girl, I had a close friend named Elsie NICHOLS who lived there. Don't remember anything about her family, other than her mother was what I would call a really ideal homemaker. I can remember how she baked and cooked for Christmas, and it was impressive! :) Thanks, Jean Mayfield Cuevas At 12:25 PM 5/16/00 -0500, you wrote: >I've been reading with interest some of the comments.
