Mike I am so glad you are still here. I have had problems getting to the mail lists for ages but they finally fixed it. Aren't you the one who wanted the obit for Pernian E Whitman Stanford? If so I may can get you a copy of it now if the person I gave it to can find it. Also can you help this Mary who is looking for Pruitt family? I was no help to her much.
