    1. [SCSUMTER-L] "I", "J', and "K" in the Scott book
    2. Just a thought from me: Have any of you ever played the old childhood game of "Gossip"? One person whispers something in the next person's ear and so it goes around the table (or the room) until it gets to the last person and he repeats it aloud. If you have then you know that very seldom does it come out in its original form. We are all human and sometimes, for whatever reason we substitute one word (or date or name) for another. We didn't understand it correctly in the first place or we are so overwhelmed with dates and names that we are anxious to repeat what we first hear, maybe just to help someone else with a fact or story. As researchers we would like to be able to have proof of everything we record but even the best falter there. The more we learn of the places and times in which our ancestors and their families lived the more we really KNOW them. It is ultimately not the exact names and dates that shaped their lives nor will those facts alone, hopefully, shape the lives of our descendents. ALL lives are living history. Cherish it!! So much for the soap box---promise that is all you will hear.
