I am here. I am visiting my niece, Pam Taylor, who is the daughter of my brother, James Edward (Ed) Taylor in Seattle. I am visiting her just until Thursday, 9/18/2003. I am sooooooo thrilled to hear that I have a cousin that I am finally able to contact. I have lost all contact with my father's side of the family... and have just recently become very interested in finding out more. Yahoo!!! I can't believe you found me! My husband, Bill and I moved to Portland Oregon with our family in 1971. We lived in Hood River from 1961-1971. I remember your father, Clarence, coming to Hood River to visit us. My temporary e-address in Portland is: doroline_johnson@yahoo.com. I want to hear from you! Please respond ASAP. I will be at the tecrazy@comcast.net until tomorrow afternoon. (That address is my niece Pam's) Otherwise PLEASE contact me at the above yahoo address. Pam's telephone # 206-781-2286 My home # 503-288-7921 in Portland. Pam and I were goofing off on the computer....checking out diffferent sites; decided to go into Ancestry.com and voila...your message popped up. I have goosebumps! I was so overwhelmed to find out someone was looking for me. Can't wait to talk with you. Your long-lost cousin Doroline.
