Hi Donna, All of a sudden I'm getting postings. I didn't know if i was truly subscribed or not. Is this as a result of your "roll call"? Glad you prompted them. I submitted a posting a few days ago and am presuming it went through(?). I live in Boston and find it difficult, at best, to conduct my Georgetown research from afar. I have to tell you that I was browsing around the Georgetown County web site a few days ago and clicked on "other links of interest" (or something to that effect), and wandered upon a Georgetown inn - DuPre House - on Prince St. that I believe to be the house my grandmother grew up in. So I emailed them with my interest (along with an in-the-making itinerary to Georgetown) and received a call today from the owner; I absolutely cannot wait to make a visit to Gtown. It sounds like there are so many people (still) there that have been there an eternity, I feel there's a potential wealth of information waiting for me. I do so hope I can get there in the spring and do the house tour(s). Anyway, just wanted you to know how happy I am you started this list group. All the best for 1999, Kerry Wood
