CHRISSY: I THINK THAT ONLY MEANS FATHER AND SON...WHEN I STARTED OUT, THEY WOULD NOT WRITE THE FULL NAME BUT WOULD WRITE JUNIOR FOR SON.....JUN. FOR SHORT. NEVER DID UNDERSTAND WHY NOT JR. NOW WHETHER THAT IS WHAT IS MEANT BY THIS WRITER WOULD ONLY BE A GUESS. THANKS A BUNCH FOR FINDING MY MATTHEW. I DO NOT HAVE THAT ONE. I HAVE WHERE HIS DAUGHTER WAS THE EXECUTRIX OF HIS WILL.....IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY AND I THINK I FOUND THAT HERE IN TYLER....WHAT A SHOCK TO FIND SOMETHING HERE. THEY HAVE SO FEW BOOKS..JIM, A COUSIN AND I WENT TO THE DALLAS LIBRARY AND THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED WAS THAT LINDA WAS VERY LUCKY AND FOUND SOME THINGS AND WAS PLEASED ABOUT THAT AS THIS WAS HER FIRST REAL FIND. SHE HAS JUST STARTED RESEARCHING AND IS A GOOD STUDENT. I HAVE BEEN SENDING HER SOME OF THE THINGS YOU HAVE SENT ME. BUT THE BEST THING WAS THAT WE VISITED OUR OLD FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR AND WE TOOK HER OUT FOR PIZZA. I HAD NEVER HAD ONE LIKE IT....AN ARTICHOKE PIZZA. YOU HAVEN'T LIVED UNTIL YOU HAVE ONE OF THOSE. WE GOT ONE BIG ONE AND IT WAS ENOUGH (WITH SOME LEFT OVER) FOR FOUR PEOPLE FOR 17.95. THE ONLY PLACE I KNOW OF IS IN OAK CLIFF IN DALLAS. YOU CAN PUT MONEY ON IT...WE WILL BE BACK. EVERYONE HAS TO LIVE DANGEROUSLY NOW AND THEN. LOVE, HUGS AND BLESSINGS TO ALL, HELEN.
