Hi cousins: Some of you are probably wondering what's going on. Since I made the proposal to LDS August 24 to pick up the cost of converting the contents of the 22 boxes of Payne Collection to a usable format for Payne family researchers, I have heard nothing. Absent a refusal by LDS to assist us, I choose to assume that matters are unfolding as they should and that all is well. The moment I receive any word from LDS, I shall bring you up to date. Cheers, Don Payne
