I have not been active on the list for quite some time. First I was away for a month and when I returned I found the young lady who lived with me and whom I took our of a abusive home situation and had nurtured for almost 30 years got married and moved out without a word to me. Subequenly I started to ecperience what I can only describe as lightening like flashes in my right eye. Optimist that i was I thought perhaps I was reading to much and decided to slow down on my historical research. When they did not subsude I called my Opthomologist. He had me cone within a hald hour. It appeard the my right retna was threatenng to detach. Further testing on Monday reveals possible Glaucoma. I have more testing on Friday. I ask for the paryer of this list because my eyes are my living and enjoyment. I have uncovered much in the past 30 years and written seven books on the subjects researched. My family has been blessed with knowledge which would other-wise have remained hidden. I have been bless because I was given the honor and the opportunity to make some of this possible. Although I have another book in process and more research that I want to complete. Propriety demands that must needs be use much care to protect that which is my vehicle to the past my eyes. So I you do not hear from me. Know that I am think of you all and I will here for time to as much as my eyesight will allow. so until I know what is going on I sall remain quiet in the background. May your searches be fruitful. Florence Hargrave Curtis Flossy2@aol.com
