Cousins & Friends: Many of you have read my recollections of youth, my tributes to family members, my stroll back down the non-paved roads of yesterday. The response to my ramblings have been warm, friendly, uplifting & extremely supportive. Thank you! In the past week, I have nervously undertaken a new project with the assistance of Nyla Creed DePauk & Gracie Stover, each a cousin, friend & mentor of mine. We have cataloged 29 past postings & have placed them on a URL entitled "Mike's Meandering." Subsequent postings will be added but only those that fit the criteria of a genealogical "column." I am hoping my postings will trigger your memories & you will give us your take & tell us your story. Genealogy at its best is the mutual exchange of information & oral legend. The subject line of these postings will be three part. First they will say "Mike's Meandering," then the title of the piece & then the date of the posting. At the bottom of each posting will be the address of the URL where said postings will be archived. Comments, suggestions & story ideas are always welcome. The first story will be posted soon. It is entitled "The Coonhunter." I hope you'll enjoy it. As always, I appreciate your support & look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Mike Peters npeters102@aol.com
