Hello Don, Thanks for the update. I am sure I speak for many (all) Payne researchers when I say I appreciate the initiative you have taken on our behalf to make the Payne material more accessible to all. Thanks very much!

Payne Collection, # 920 Hi Cousins: I recently contacted LDS to see if our proposal, to have them coordinate with the University of Virginia for the purpose of converting the information in the Payne Collection to a usable format for Payne family researchers, was still under consideration. They said yes and that we should be hearing from them pretty soon. That was about three weeks ago. I'm still waiting. I did however want to give you a status report. When I learn more, I'll let you know. Don Payne >
