Hi Fellow Van Researchers, My e mail address is [email protected] Of course I will be more than happy to correspond with you via e mail or regular mail, but as I work I do not have time for the phone calls, and really need the space on my answering machine for messages that are recieved during the course of the day when I am not home. It is not that I do not want to talk to fellow researchers, it is unrealistic for me to be able to return numerous long distance calls. I do not want anyone to think I do not wish to talk with them, but if you have called and left a message, please be so kind as to send your message to me via e mail or regular mail. I will answer as soon as possible. Thank You, Jo Ann Ramseyer Larry S. Wilcox wrote: > > Contact my Cousin: > Jo Ann Ramseyer > 10426 W.
