Mike, I will look around for obits and other articles. But I also wanted to tell the RANSOM LIST people that one of the episodes of ANTIQUES ROADSHOW (PBS) that was filmed in AUSTIN, TX has a feature on the RANSOM center in Austin, which has nothing to do with genealogy, but I suspect the man who began the collection is one of our Va>TN>TX RANSOMS. Do you know anything about this? Thanks, Carole Burnett Cook
