Hi Bob Thank you for the kind words. I have been rather silent as I took the death of my mother very deeply and needed time to realize that era of my life was forever gone. I talked to her 3-4 times per week and still pick up the phone and dial her number. It has been the hardest part of my life to overcome. I guess I thought that she would always be there. It was also my saddest trip to Lewis County. But it was the first time I had seen Snow in 8 years and I believe that mother knew I missed it. Each time I pick up the Bowen edition of "The History of Lewis County" I recall when Mother was searching for various Town information along with her beloved Arthur C Moore and realize that they together contributed a bit of history to the County that will live on forever. She also typed the book for publication. Her heart and soul went into it. That is where my love of history and Genealogy came from. I am still busy but silently doing Genealogy and doing a lecture at the Family History Library's "Family History Fair" here in Palm City, Florida on 1/31/2004 on "Finding your Hidden Ancestors". Next month I will do the Genealogical Society Program with the same program and on 2/28/2004 will do a Seminar on "Researching In New York State" in Stuart Florida. If any Lewis County friends such as yourself are in the area of Martin, St Lucie or surrounding Counties, you are welcome to attend. The fee is minimal. Good to hear from another Lewis County Researcher. Warm Regards Pat R
