Hi All, It is with much regret that I report the absence of Ken Shute from our daily lives. He is alive and well, just is needing to pull back from all the volunteer work he has been doing. As soon as he feels he is ready, he has promised that he will be back on a limited scale. Please do not send any further research requests to Ken via the mail list or privately. The following books are the ones that Ken was using for his lookup services. If anyone has any of these books and is willing to take over the lookups on one or more of them, I think Ken would be pleased. Let me know if you are willing to take up the slack in Ken's absence. I do hope that more of you will be willing to help out on the mail list with research answers. 1. "Gateway to the West", Vols. 1 & 2, compiled by Ruth Bowers and Anita Short.
