Hi Dick, I am sure Elizabeth Cole will be sorely missed but, without doubt, someone will rise to the occasion, if not for the 20 years that Elizabeth and Mary Lighthall did such distinguished yeomen's work. My wife Mary and I will also try to help out in your editing department and we intend to send in some of our research "finds" to Kinfolk when they are ready. My wife has become absorbed in the mysteries of genealogy, reading and rereading copies we have brought home from various libraries and archives, not only for the Rich family, but others as well. I believe she is now quite proficient and "asks the good questions." Through the marvel of computers, we have found several cousins of the Paine list who are interested in the Rich list and the website because our lines are interspersed "here and there," like all good Cape folke. And where they may have information missing from their web pages, we send email back and forth until everyone agrees on "who the children are, who they married, etc." Forrest Paine (me go too@aol.com) has a Paine list going that Richs may be interested in, since there are so many connections with us. Send him email. He's a good man and will be interested in hearing from you. On our first trip to the Cape (1975) to research our Rich connections, we were busily digging away at the records in the town clerk's office when the town clerk (Tom Kane) said, "I don't know why you want to go through all that work when you have cousins all around here, including Alivina Rich Lewis who lives nearby. So, off we went to meet Alvina who introduced us all around, including George and Louise Hatch who brought us to the Truro cemetery for the first time. Alvina was a charming woman and a wonderful writer who gave us all the information we could carry and more, too. At the time, I thought we would never have to do any more research, but 20 years later, we're still at it. Addictive! And lots of fun. We will continue to send our puzzles to "Reply to All," hoping to find someone who has the answers and, at the same time, to encourage others to ask and answer questions sent in by their Rich Cousins! Happy Easter! Frank Rich Johnson (603) 898-5237 frichj@aol.com
