Morning Joan, Thanks for passing this on, how I wish I could go, but it's impossible for me. Any chance anyone going could get an extra set of materials for me? My Father died in Chatham in 1993, I did meet his mother but just now learned his father was alive at the time and I'm feeling a huge void in my heart here. I'll send the $5 plus postage, you can have the extra continental breakfast. Any kindness appreciated, Sheila in CA --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
