Good morning list members and friends. In the past week as I've been sorting through my database I've wondered about so many of the other list members that I just had to ask how everyone is. We are having a sweltering great time here in the Houston, TX area. Have had to have the A/C on for the past few days and watch that electric meter just buzz around and around and keep adding up those dollars on our already depleated budget. What's happening where you live? Have wondered if Chuck over in Austin, TX is busy with his A/C business since it looks as if we are not only going to have extremely warm weather here again this year but we still have a continued draught situation. Charles are you and Willie working on a year 2000 family reunion? Where is it going to be held this year? Are there any other Woolsey's out there having family reunions this year? If so write and let us know. Norb, have you found James' father yet or have you given up after pulling all your hair out? Rachel, are you and husband once again well and happy? Frank Mitchell where are you? I needed to make photo corrections and when I went to your website at Geocities it says that you flew the coup. Wilford - I always know where Wilford is - at the library. Has anyone found new family members or cousins? I have been contacted by two 3rd cousins in the past year. It has really been exciting sharing with them and putting our research together. Okay, down to business: I received the following message from Betsy. Are there any Woolsey's out there who connect with this line? If so would you please answer to the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Betsy Fry <bfry@netexas.net> To: Carolyn Wilkerson <honey@texasol.com> Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2000 11:22 AM Subject: Re: > My grandfather (my mother's father) William Hopkins Woolsey was born near Mammoth, Ky. in 1862 and >died 1941.
