The Sno-Isle Gen. Society will hold their annual "Show and Tell" session at their mtg. January 7th at 7 p.m. sharp. All who participate are expected to come prepared to show, tell, relate, expound, lie, all within a specified time of 5 minutes (like Toastmaster's International)- so organization is important. Here is an opportunity to bring out some of those weird "They Want to be Found" stories that happen when you least expect it - and suddenly "something happens" and the most unusual occurances happen around you that you wouldn't expect to happen in the name of genealogy and "the hunt". I plan to donate some of my genealogy books or information for the new Library location which will become a part of the Heritage Park and the Sno-Isle Gen Soc library source. Since I began attending the Sno-Isle Gen Soc mtgs from years past up to the present, I have discovered 3 ancestral Cousins among the groups that have attended. Bonnie Sears, now of Whidbey Island ( a Founder) and I share our Tuttle Family ancestry which ties in with my Clarks; then Margaret Summitt, a much closer ancestral tie with our Michael (Michel/Mikel Palatine German ancestry dating from the 1700s; then there was a third lady with whom I was able to visit at her home in Mill Creek which we shared ancestry from the 1600s, I have lost track of her and her name for the moment but we found our ties in either the Tuttle or Lothropp (Lothrop,Lathrop) Line. That was such a long time ago that now I can't recall her name, but I have notes on her among my souvenirs. I have 4 days to think of something to try to contribute within the 5 mins. for the Show 'n' Tell - isn't it funny how a mind goes blank when you put the DEMAND BUTTON on it !!!!!!!!! It's the d . . . . . pills! Tempest Fugit ! it says on my Grandfather Clock - will I remember something or will I have to come up with a L I E that s o u n d s good to the group! Sno-Isle Gen Soc meets at Martha Lake Community Club bldg 16300 Motor Place, Lynnwood - approx 164th & I-5, east side of hwy. If Andy Wapler sez S N O W for that nite, I ain't going !
