Perhaps you can help a whole bunch of Temple researchers here! Do either of you know of "a HTML operated free chatwith no membership requirements"? William Temple seems dedicated to getting a chat area so that not only non-aol and also aol Temples can chat..without all the complications of geocities membership and java browsers. Perhaps you saw his post. I,m too new at puters to answer him. He certainly is going out of hiw way to get a lot of Temples together. I bet there is a lot of knowledge out there. Short LOL note on me..Have been actively searching Temple 12 or more years...never got my answer. Posted a note to Bowdoin list Answer from member whose Dad is a Bowdoin. Gave me verified info on fact that not one-but 3 BowdoiN?wINTHROPS IN SAME LINEAGE CHANGED THEIR NAMES TO tEMPLE!! Oh well...another root to follow!!jmay@hpnc.net Happy spring weekend all! Carol
