Just a reminder that last night was our meeting.  I know there were several people who said they were coming to the meeting and were not there.  I don't want anyone to go to the Redfront tonight so hopefully everyone reads their e-mail early in the day.  Contact me directly to get your Ireland travel documents. Next month we will have a meeting, however since we are leaving for Ireland on the 3rd Thursday of the month, it was decided at last night that we will meet on the 2nd Thusday of the month, April 10th.  Further details will follow....Kris -----Original Message----- From: Joyce052@aol.com To: ny-troy-irish-gensoc@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 8:13 am Subject: [NY-TROY-IRISH-GENSOC] Walker,Tracey,Busone,Bean Wednesday March 19 2008TroyRecord Article100yearsagoThursday March 19, 1908 Dr. Mary Edwards Walker ,only female recipient of the Medal of Honor from he Civil War (record of only female recipient of the Medal still stands in 008) was in Troy today at the County Clerks office on undisclosed personal usiness.The Record reporter interviewed the 72 year old who wore a suit with rousers.
