Hey all, I spent a good part of the day reading letters from so many of you and when my husband came home he found me in tears. I told him "They think I died" but I sure was nice and helped a lot of people before I left. So for those of you still grievin' my demise..I'll set up a trust fund. I n lieu of flowers please send gifts (means money) to Norwest Bank of Albuquerque P.O. Box 1081 In care of "The Wanda ain't dead yet but appreciates your check" Fund Albuquerque, NM 97101-1091 All proceeds will go to buy artificial garden vegetables to stick in my rock garden in the back yard next year. Anyway, this reminds of the story of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn..when they faked thier own death and later sneaked into the church to watch thier funerals. Y'all have me missin me!! And I just think your all wonderful too! I'm really overwhelmed. The truth is there are one or two things in life I can get even more absorbed in than genealogy. I used to fancy myself an artist and had a room filled with half-painted canvasses. It was so frustrating because I'm just artistically good enough to try but wasn't good enough to make things come out the way I saw them in my mind. Last week my husband brought home the Adobe Photoshop 4.0 Program and you would think I am in heaven (so it's probably fittin' ya'll been havin' my funeral). But be assured I am alive and well and skippy and still here but just off painting. So enough with the " goodbyes" already. Also, to answer some who have written privately that I haven't had a chance to get back to yet..No, I'm not sick or leaving because I'm upset over the problems on the list. It is really just an unfortunate coincidence that all of that was brought to surface and my leaving happened at the same time. Which brings me to another point..I ain't leaving <grin>..I'm a listmember now like everybody else. Thanks for the funeral! Now on to genealogy! with love, Wanda
