Hello Faye, Wow, what a way to die! I had thought that all the canabils in this part of the world were all in the Carribean. I had no idea that canibils existed near California. What year did this happen? You know, it is funny what you uncover when you research your family lines. In one of my lines there was one ancestor who was killed by sharks in the Atlantic I think. Eerie!
