Thank you, and I think you may have just the answer. Gary told me about talking with you, and yes, we are happy that his mother is doing so remarkably well. She's really amazing! A rather long survivor of ovarian cancer at age 90. Do you know something about papers at the Center on the BROWN family in the Sumter area? If so, would you tell me something about them. We have a BROWN, Mary Ellanora who md. Elijah Hartwell PRINGLE. They are bur. at Concord. I desperately need info on her and her family. If there is something that can be copied, that would be wonderful, and I would happily send the funds for copying and mailing. Thanks for writing! Dolores M.
