Dear Bakers: I share your issue regarding the quiet nature of this site in recent times. However, I do see notes from various parties from time to time. We are still out here. My maternal grandfather was James Petrie who was born in Arbroath in 1867. He emigrated to the Boston, MA area in the US in 1888. His father was also named James and was also born in Arbroath. It appears that his grandfather was Alexander Petrie, a master baker in Arbroath. Best regards, Bruce R. B. Arnold Email: brucearnld@aol.com
