Hello to Everyone Thanks so much for your very kind welcome notes, both here on the list and on the website..... as I return to my Petrie Research after....well...it has to have been years now !! I have finally ventured into Cyber Space once more....... it's been way too long since I was last involved with the Petrie List & Website and loads of things have kept me away. However the other day by pure chance I opened up my e.mails (for the first time in an absolute age) and was delighted to discover the Petrie community still thriving, amongst the e.mails I also found a subscription renewal request for the Petrie Website....so I followed through on that and I believe that an e.mail from MyFamily.com was then sent out to all the Petrie website members.........and as a result it it has brought us all together again. I can only apologise for being out of touch for so long..... and to those who have encountered website password or mailing list problems, I think I have rectified the most recent requests, should anyone else be encountering problems or needing some guidance please do contact me ......I have a new e.mail address which is norma.thain@balgavies.demon.co.uk I have also recently received word from Rootsweb that they have changed the administration tools for this Petrie-Scotland Mailing List ....so I will go and update myself about that... and I need to familiarise myself with the website once more....and start opening up Petrie files which I have long neglected, but I am looking forward to re-kindling our friendships and taking a fresh look at all our Petrie family connections. best regards Norma :o) Norma Thain nee Petrie long lost Petrie-Scotland Mailing List Administrator norma.thain@balgavies.demon.co.uk --- avast!

Hi Norma, So REALLY GLAD to hear from you. Knowing of your health problems I was naturally concerned. I often think of our visit when I met you at St. Andrews in August of 2000 on that drizzily day and our chat over tea or cocoa (What was it?). I trust that you are doing well. Except for a miserable head cold that popped up over the weekend I am doing quite well for an old lady of 71. For the last two years I have had a gentleman friend, who incidentally gave me this cold so life has been good. My leukemia remains stable, my back pains most of the time, and I have a torn rotator cuff which will be surgically repaired in November. BUT I really feel great and happy. Keep in touch - wish I could visit Scotland again but it is doubtful.
