I, too, have been only a "lurker" for a long time now, as a full-time job with rigid weekday hours has kept me from much of the research I was enjoying doing. However, what I greatly miss from this list is the "good stories" (I even have a folder with many of them that I have kept) and the personal caring that used to the posted to this list. I realize that this is a genealogy list, but I miss the sense of family that used to be so pervasive here. Sharon
