Hi Valerie, You are correct that the NEWS did not list the names. It was only the very early issues of the paper in which I omitted the names at these types of events. If they names had been there during this time period, I would have copied them. So sorry. But happy to know that you learned something new, and that it will now lead you to question relatives about more information. I had forgotten how an issue of this paper could spark so many questions and act as a catalyst to get things stirring again. I'm so happy to see it.

It is like Christmas every time I find a mention of one of my clan! I knew that you would have listed the names if they had been printed, but had to ask. Thanks for all you do.
