My sincerest apologies to the person who so promptly responded to my query, requesting a possible connection between my Annie BOWEN and a CHADBOURNE. In my attempt to respond (I've only been on Juno this week), I managed to delete both my response and your message. Just in 5 quick seconds! ACKKKK! I am so sorry, as I'd like to connect further to discuss.... Bad fingers, bad computer karma, bad, bad, bad... so sorry! Please accept my sincerest of apologies.
