I am a neophyte in genealogical research (only 6 years), so I have really missed Sandra's editorial comments and historical helps.  She just has a knack for cleaning up the ragged edges and offering logical explanations to suggest where to look and to assist in forming circumstantial conclusions.  I was able to get my DAR membership based on "compelling circumstantial evidence" so I have a great appreciation for the talent and experience of an administrator with Sandra's integrity.  I hope whomever is responsible for Sandra's retreat will make amends soon. 

Is Sandra really out of action?   If so, do we know where she lives?   Sandra isn't the sort who'd be easily chased away, and I don't know if there is any evidence that that happened.   It might be good to give her a call.   Alot of leadership on these lists are far older than you'd thinnk.   I am writing from my hospital bed - my appendix blew a cork.   You just never know.   Yours Dora --- On Tue, 12/15/09, sheila penner <[email protected]> wrote: From: sheila penner <[email protected]> Subject: [PaOldC] MIA List Administrator To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 5:59 AM I am a neophyte in genealogical research (only 6 years), so I have really missed Sandra's editorial comments and historical helps.  She just has a knack for cleaning up the ragged edges and offering logical explanations to suggest where to look and to assist in forming circumstantial conclusions.  I was able to get my DAR membership based on "compelling circumstantial evidence" so I have a great appreciation for the talent and experience of an administrator with Sandra's integrity.  I hope whomever is responsible for Sandra's retreat will make amends soon.  ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
