Hi, all "cousins" I talked to Hugh about a month ago. I had ordered his book on his line from Capt. John Rudd who emigrated to Virginia in 1663. Hugh has done a tremendous job keeping that genealogy, and I wanted his book for my personal library, and to do "look-ups" for other researchers. He was having a bit of trouble with the printing company at that time. I know he had suffered some injuries from an auto accident some time ago, and then a bout with some cancer. When I talked to him he was feeling a little despondent. I was about to call him again, to see how he's doing. I haven't sent him any e-mail lately, and if he's not answering, perhaps he's just in a slump. Maybe writing him a letter might help! He certainly is an asset to this group. Have been away from my research for a while, and it's piling up - will have more time now and hope to catch up soon. Everybody, have a lovely day. Janet
