Vonda, It has been such a joy to read your stories and activities that you post to the lists. This essay today left me speechless (and that's something!). You are one special lady. How perfectly you express the feelings we have, or should have for our work. It is work, not just a hobby, and I hope it is done with love. May I have your permission to read it at our next local society meeting (Ottawa County Genealogical Society, Miami, OK) on the 19th of this month? Most sincerely, Betty J. Pulley. (My husband was Raymond F. Pulley, from Forsyth.)
