Jetsam, Please Delete/Scroll if not interested. Flotsam, I want to take this opportunity to show my Appreciation to two persons who came on PSR and expressed their appreciation of my efforts. Maudeen Wachsmith, I want you to know how much I enjoyed your msg. and that I honored, understood, and agreed completely with what you wrote. You were very tactful with me, and I want you to know how much I appreciate that. You are a true Friend, and I hope that I can be of help in some way to you in the future. Thanks a Meg. ! Norma Lewis, these same words of Appreciation apply equally to you! I want you to know how greatly I appreciate your coming to bat for me and I enjoyed your desciption of me to the t . Norma and I have known each other since we tangled with the Snohomish Cemetery foray that began long ago, and still erupts. Norma and I would erupt with each other over things, and we became at logger-heads with each other at times. Even though I lived in Snohomish since 1924, I wasn't about to go stomping into City Hall and raise holy h- e- double-toothpicks re Snohomish Cemetery concerns. I'm not an activist, not into Politics, nor Propaganda, despite my interest in People. Thank goodness that Norma and I have buried any hatchets we had in Snohomish Cemetery, as we are friends today in spite of all the frictions of the past. In fact, I consider us Bosom Buddies, which more "politically" correct would translate to "cool" in the latest version. We had been cool before, but that was more like " cool to each other" in the 30s version <BG>! I was taught when I was growing up in Snohomish by my Uncle, Herbert O. Ness, whom I called "Unc" in the same sense as "Dad" as he raised me as his own, though we were not blood related. He took over when my Dad died when I was 3. Unc taught me over the many years by Example - his demeanor and his concern for People. "One of the greatest of Hells on earth, is the lack of Appreciation!" That phrase has always remained in mind of from my '30s boyhood, and is just applicable today as it was when I heard "Unc" make that statement, many many times. His Minnesota Norwegian background along with that Norwegian ancestry has come through loud and clear over the many years. This is why I wish to honor these two persons for their kindness to me, and at this same time, I extend my appreciation to all of you, males, and females, who wrote e-mail to me and expressed these same sentiments to me personally, but not on PSR. I could sense the true meaning of, Appreciation. I thank all 250 + of you who make PSR home for Family History/genealogy for this space. Carroll Clark Snohomish, WA.
