Machias, as well as HARTFORD, WA along the old rail tracks that used to exist - now Centennial Trail afford a great opportunity to do some genealogical digging and appreciate the findings of Others. I will make a special effort to attend again this year as I had such a great time there last year even if I am a Snohomishite. The Gemmers, the Tuengels, et al are all great people to meet and talk to as well as the many other members of the Community. Mark this one on you Calendar! Carroll in Snohomish * * * 30 * * *
