I can't begin to say all the things Charles has done for our Society in addition to genealogy as a whole. What Charles didn't mention (that I could see) is that he, as well as Dottie, were chosen as Distinguished Service Members at the luncheon yesterday. It was such a fun luncheon - right down to Donna's raffle of the Bon Marche bag (which brought in the auction books donated by the Lentzen's of Portland) for 10 cents for a total of $33.10. Remember that there will be another "Auction in Action" at the beginning of the February meeting (February 7th). We already have several books that will be auctioned off so be sure and get in on the fun and be a winner. All monies from this auction go into the general fund. If you have books that you would like to donate, please let me know the title, condition, author, etc. for each book (you can do that by emailing me directly at RubyMc@comcast.net) and I will get back with you to let you know which meeting can auction them off. You will then just bring them at that time and hand them to me. We'll take care of the rest. A great way to "downsize" for yourselves by donating and help create fun for all. Isn't this list a great way to communicate?????? Thanks for this, too, Charles!!! -- My "home book" of many pages: http://home.comcast.net/~rubymc/homepage.htm Visit our 1955 Ephrata Tigers at: http://home.comcast.net/~55tigers/1955ehs.htm

Ruby - Thanks for the note. I want to downsize my book cases and have many books I never use any more. I will do as you suggested after I finish with my book on 'Farmington Remembered', which should be within a month. I read half way through the book covered yesterday and was not so impressed as to its usefulness as a teaching aid. Maybe by the time I finish this view will change. I have lots more stories of pioneers in the early days in more detail and with better illustrations of conditions they lived through.
