Hi Lily, I keep a jar of Blue-EMU next to the keyboard, and I'm not kidding. But I just can't so no to the older folks (late 80 and early 90's) who look forward to these notes. But I think I took more than I want to chew, trying to connect these families. So now I have to write to these folks and tell them, I will make a connection when I can, but don't count on it. Best Wishes, Geri

Geri, Thank you for sharing your information, it has been very helpful. Is your hands tired from all that typing yet? Thanks Lily
