Hi Phyllis: I'm sorry I don't have your personal address so I will send this to you via the list. I had spoken with you previously via email about White Mound and your brother Terry. (I often think about Terry and all of the fun we all used to have). I am Shelley's cousin. What I didn't know until I saw this email to the list was that you are related to the Carpenter family. I was a Carpenter prior to my marriage. I don't know if I am related to your Carpenter family but I would be interested in finding out. Could you contact me privately to find out if any of our Carpenters match up?
