Leslie, I never find your conversations boring. You know things about the local geography and history that few list members know, and you include that kind of information when you are giving an answer. Your answers are far from boring.

Cliff, Thank you for those kind words. However, whenever I post something, I am always acutely aware of the fact that I am NOT a genealogist, that I make NO claim to be a genealogist, and that I do NOT think like a genealogist. So I always figure that I am skating on 'thin ice' as far as genealogical community is concerned. Leslie Cliff Lamere wrote: > Leslie, > > I never find your conversations boring.
