Now I need his address. Are you listening, Tom? Dawn Linden >> Hi Dawn, Sure am still on the list and enjoy reading about Lorain and Elyria. Yes, I remember that you mentioned that you had a booklet if you ever came across it. I am tickled pink that you found it. I had quite a time finding out what school it was that I attended as the old databank would not bring it to the terminal for me. Nancy Myers was such a good person to help me find the name of the school and even took pictures of the apartment house I lived in. She and her husband drove over to Elyria and took the pictures and sent them to me. That is above the call of duty. The list has been very helpful in giving me clues to that time of my life. I'm 85 now so my memory is not that good - however things pop into my mind (terminal) that I haven't thought of in years. My address is: Thomas E. Powell 37 Alpine Street Milford, NH 03055-4704

Notice you had a Murphy in your line, I purchased some pictures some time ago, and have a picture of a women. On back it says Murphy on the way to get her citizen ship papers. Would love to find family she belongs too. I estimate picture to be 1900 to 1920 not sure. You can see her clearly. Let me know if anyone wants a scan of her. Dee

Hi again everyone, SUCCESS! :) The URL for the publisher of the above mentioned book is <http://www.clossonpress.com>. I've received quite a few messages from people wanting to know if Ms. Teibel has done other surname-letters other than the 'H'-names. As far as I know, only the 'H' names have been done. I can add though, that she is working on the 'M' names now and is scheduled to do the 'S' names next. I believe she wants to do the entire alphabet of surnames. Colleen
