Vic, please reconsider serving as editor of Argyll Colony Plus. It is too valuable a publication and needs to continue. I know that you have had some health problems and it would be understandable if you took several months off. At least postpone making a final decision until you can give this some more thought. I am surprised and disheartened that many of the 160 people who received a free copy of Argyll Colony Plus have not joined. We members need to do a better job in talking up the North Carolina Scottish Heritage Society. It has been very beneficial to me in my research. And you have been a willing helper to me and many others. I will write an article for Argyll Colony Plus on my return from Scotland. I could probably have it to you in October or November. it will break some new ground as far as the Purcell family is concerned as I will try and correct some of the errors, mis-statements and mis-interpretations found in "Lumber River Scots" and "Carolina Scots" as well as a few other publications. Focus will also be on the Gilchrist, Malloy, Munn, McKay, Graham and Torrey families. In fact there may be a series of articles on this subject if space permits and editorial review is favorable. Vic, I will understand if your decision is final but I hope you will reconsider. Please don't let Argyll Colony Plus die.
