Jeannie, Thanks so much for the compliment, a few folks have said the same thing. I have done some things on branches of the family, not for publication, only for some family members that had expressed an interest. I was a pretty good student, learned quickly and spent a lot of time in the school Library. My English Lit. teacher was also the Head Librarian. One assignment was to do an essay on an inanimate object, object, bring it to life in the first person. We could choose anything we wanted to write about. I chose a ring, an engagement ring that this young man carried around in his pocket until he found the right girl to wear it. I was given first prize in the essay contest and was asked to read it to the audience of school mates at one of our meetings. I had the original copy for a long time but somewhere along the way I lost it. I can remember some of it but not all, it was several pages.
