Hi, I just got back to CA this morning, from a two week cross-county trip to WI. It is surprising how similar yet different home is upon returning... It poured alot and was cold, so I am not sure how my pictures will turn out... I did get some information for the sites, however, did not get to LaFayette, Monroe, or Green Counties to research as planned. We walked two cemeteries in JuneauCoWI and put one on digital, so that will be posted in the near future. I have over 200 emails to answer, obits to post and other goodies to organize, so if I am quiet, it is due to productivity not indifference. Rest assured that any information sent in during my vacation will be up on the site in the next few weeks.

I want to thank all the people who sent me greetings and congrats on my recent graduation. It was so thoughtful and touched my heart. I am back in Wisconsin for several weeks and it is great to be seeing all the sites, old friends, and making new... It is SO beautiful here. You are really a great group of people and I am delighted to be creating the Monroe, Portage, and Wood county pages with you. I am looking forward to finishing old projects and starting new ones... Any and all ideas are welcome. Currently, I am finishing projects sent by Maryls and Betty, and backlogged on obits from Joan... I am without all capabilities except email (and it is killing me - grin) until 3 Jun, upon my return... I am stopping in some of the counties to try and obtain some NEW stuff for lookups, etc, but am really concentrating on my OWN famiy tree as it has been neglected for years.... Any and all stuff that I find will be willingly shared. More later... CELEBRATE WISCONSIN!!!
