I'm not listing this as an "admin" post because it's just from me as a person.... I understand that recently there may have been some hurt feelings, and part of it I feel is my fault as lately due to my illness etc I have not been as "hands on" as usual. I am very sorry that I have not had as much time to devote to the list the past , well nearly a year really after the knee surgery. It was supposed to be a quick 3 week deal and it's turned into a life changing event which I was -not- prepared for. I really thought that the list could muddle along until I got back on my feet literally... and complications made it into a bigger deal when the webpages when down and all. All I can say is that this has always been a great list... great people and thankfully over the years very few problems. I know we can all get things back the way we were before. I'd just ask that for the time being we all pitch in together and be as nice as possible to each other and understanding of everyone's situations. That's all I can say. If you want to blame anyone for the list "problems" I'd rather you blame me than each other. On top of everything, I was notified yesterday that my Uncle who has been like a father to me died last week, and because of various family issues, I was not notified til yesterday. Not that I could have gone up to NY, but ... anyway, it's another thing to deal with. He was the last of my fathers generation, and its a major link that has been broken. He was a wonderful person, 2 purple hearts in WW2.... Joseph Clifford Petzolt. If anyone has any further comment please send them to me personally. I am working on the Ancestor Party and will be posting that info in the next week or so. Thanks for understanding, and for indulging me.
