Dear Sylvia, Sorry it has taken so long to post this message. Has been in my heart to do it since I got back from NY. However, lots of family things and wedding planning and a recent trip to Indiana got in the way. I want everyone to know what a WONDERFUL time Dan and I had when we visited the Catskills. Meeting my cousin Fran and husband John Monahan was a most delightful and enjoyable time. It was one of the best things I can list in my life. They were so warm and loving to us. Fran took us to all the grave sites we knew of and I touched my past and my family. Fran was a real trooper taking us all over. The next wonderful thing was meeting Sylvia. You don't know how much we enjoyed visiting with you and the fact you took time from your busy life to come by and see us. I could have talked to you for days. And folks she is a lot younger than I thought . She has such a vast store house of knowledge and focus on the geneology that I expected to meet someone older. She is also quite cute. Fran took us to the Vedder library and eveyone there was such a help going above and beyond for us. While there I got to meet Jane Freese. Jane you will always have my gratitude for getting Fran and I together. If it wasn't for you we wouldn't have found each other. The food at Sylvia's mother in laws Inn was terrific. As well as the other places we stopped. To sum it all up, it was the trip my heart was longing for and I was not disappointed at all. The only disappointment was we had onlly a few days to stay. Perhaps, next time it will be longer. Thanks and love to everyone I met especially Sylvia. Virginia Sanok Love is Silence when Words would Hurt. __________________________________ Yahoo!
