I think I took a nap and missed something <g>. Were these "tidbits" in response to a question on the board. If so could someone forward the original note to me? I've read about the Lucie Perkins Stone papers (WK Hall refers to them in his "Descendants of Nicholas Perkins" book) and would be very interested in seeing if they have been filmed. (I'm Nicholas, Nicholas, Constantine, William, William, Samuel Fearn Perkins etc.). Does anyone out there know a link for the Virginia Historical Society or if the material has been filmed? And this time I'll stay awake and pay attention <g> Cary
