Through Ms Duncan's efforts in aiding those of us who wade through the pitfalls of genealogy to record only the truth, she certainly has at least slowed those who seem determed to rewrite history The fact that Marty Hiatt, herself, has included her note of appreciation adds a further sheen to Pat's award. What a great group!

Hi Bob, Heard from Susan too this morning about the award. Thanks for the appreciation. I was truly honored to receive the award. Unfortunately, I was unable to receive it in person, but had my sister (who lives in Alexandria) accept it in my stead. She remarked how friendly everyone was - something I have long noticed about genealogy people. Marty and I have been friends for years and mutually assist each other. She has now moved my status from TYPING FOOL to QUEEN OF THE LOOKUPS, which I take as quite a compliment.
