Kathleen, We appreciate your being our List Mom and all the patience and work you put into maintaining this list. I often think people forget when they were first starting out. :) We never know who could be on the other end of an email, it could be a new young in age person or a very elderly individual just having the time to start their search. Compassion and patience is the "keyword" not just because it could be a relative your looking for, but because it's the right way to behave as a human. You have been wonderful, firm but kind, in your handling of what few skirmishes we occasionally have flare up. I welcome your intolerance of people being ugly for whatever reason. Thanks for being there for all of us! Paula/Oregon

Kathleen: I wholeheartedly agree with Paula's opinion here. It was very well stated. Thank you so very much for all of your help and understanding. You are very much appreciated.
