Hi Barb, Yes, got snow before you did...not quite like the really nice big snowfalls that would come in the middle of night and would wake up to the muffled sound of cars with broken chain clanking and the excitement of the possibility of no school that day. I bought the books for Nancy's older sister, no hope for Nancy she is too busy with children, puppies and work. I also bought the book Edgmont, the story of a township which is really good, lots of house pictures. Nancee, Ca. n a message dated 1/25/2007 2:00:07 P.M.

Yes, I thought I might try and get some photos on one of my lunch time walks. I wish they were a bit more substantial though (most only shells). There was one spot that I was told was an old pig farm along the creek located near Pennell Road. I know how you feel about trying to get family interested in genealogy, but buy the books for your niece (I haven't seen her this week yet) was a good ploy. At least she's noticing! It's a start...a subtle one. "Great oaks grow from little acorns", as they say. Speaking of books, I seem to remember a book put out a few years ago for Middleton Twp's Anniversary. I remember it took in parts of Aston, but I think it stop near Mount Alverno Road. Does anyone recall this? Barb
