I just got the biggest shock when I real Neil Baker's obit on the list. I emailed him a month or more ago and then wondered why I had not heard back from him. I pulled his phone no. and put it by my phone with all intentions of calling him and, you know, with family ( alrge one) and work I just never got to it. This evening my husband asked if I had called him and I replied that i WAS GOING TO DO THAT TOMORROW WITHOUT FAIL. And i then went on the computer checking my email and ther it was abt his death in March! Neil and I connected thru the list sight a few yrs ago and found we were kin-had the same ggggranparents and I visited him a couple times and he took me to the old family farm and we put up headstones on our gggranparents graves. He was store house of family knowledge and helped me so much in garmering info abt my Bertie ancestors. I am so sorry he's gone and I send up my prayers for his family.
