Yes I knew Franny. She was a great person and friend. I will miss her so much. She taught me how to make web pages with graphics and was so nice when I just couldn't get it...As most of you probably know she was responsible for the Lay of The Land web site. I was the editor of the Newsletter for Lay of The Land so we worked together a lot because of that also. She was related to me distantly. I was really proud to have her in my family tree. Please keep her family in your prayers everybody.
