Thanks so much for taking the time to post a response; and great to hear from you. Indeed, it sounds like we are kindred Stewart connections. I was particularly interested in the Shaw branch of your family; my great-great-grandmother, Emma [Stewart, Shaw] Wright, started me off on this caper originally. Dear Emma married a Christopher Shaw, and it sticks in my mind that Lenora was a name in the family. Could it be we're double-connected? I'd be very interested in sharing some Shaw tidbits with you if that would be of interest. We even have a couple of old photos. I have gotten a couple of handfuls of responses from folks who indicated an interest in a reunion; and I think it would be wonderful. We'll see what the coming months bring. I gotta check out where Valley Springs is; we may not be that far apart! And a piper to boot! Great stuff! My mother will be tickled to hear about your Shaw relations, please do keep in touch. Godspeed and God Bless; Doug Stewart Mission Hills, CA
