Hi there! Glad you enjoyed and were able to use the stories. I had to take time out for earthquake and a few other things this week.<g> Yes, we are fine and just received a cracked garage floor this far from the epicenter, although my husband's office swayed. Anyway, I have perfected the dear-in-the-headlights look now! In case anyone is interested, we have as many as 1000 quakes a year but only feel 12 (they reported on TV)...and I guess now can say we REALLY felt one! I have LOTS of those Newton County stories and like you, get excited as I am discovering family in them as well...and discovering further questions which I need to post to the link too. I'm sure some of you can explain some of this stuff to me because the names will surely tie into your families as well. Should get a few more posted this afternoon...probably have a good 50-75 or so more...just glancing. Thanks! Deb Shipman Rowe Vancouver
