Hello everyone, Just been listening and reading all the mail and responses since we went on Rootsweb. I had previously been in touch with a few of you, namely Bob Schimmel, but had never made a good connection with my line. My Rainwater bunch ended up in Searcy Co., AR coming originally out of New York and Illinois by way of a few mid-south states. Vida Rainwater is as far back as I have been able to go. I won't go into my linage right now, but if it sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know. I would also like to know where the Arkansas Reunion is held that Ron spoke about. Also Joseph Lambert, how long have you been at Northwestern U.? I had a brother-in-law that was a professor there for many years, but left several years ago. Thanks, Winnie Bell Bentonville, AR
