Pam, Now that you mention the family at Eagle Springs, I seem to remember them also. My Dad was active in the Masons at Mukwonago, we also attended the Congragational Church, in Mukwonago, and I remember the name,"Dan Beardsley", can't remember a wife's name or children, at this time. Sometimes my mind works overtime, and sometimes, oh well! Life gets too much to remember, all the time. ;-) Cindy, in Cloudy but mild, Denver, CO. _________________________________________________________________ The average US Credit Score is 675.
