Hello: My personal and work email go directly to my office so it doesn't matter which one you use. I must have typed it in wrong before. I took Band instead of typing. gphares@nilfisk-advance.com (work) genep@sihope.com (home) Billy's uncle Lester Brown Vance married my aunt Marie (Raines) so I spent a fair amount of time up Roaring visiting Mason and Bertha. Unfortunately, Marie died just this summer. I was back in the summer and caught her shortly before she died. My dad and Bill's dad Marvin was without question the two best fishermen in the county. I don't know how much of that Bill and I inherited??? I moved to Minnesota 14 years ago and have been fishing in the land of 10,000 lakes. I do miss fishing Roaring, Seneca, and Brushy Run. Me, I am related to the Vances from my mom' sides through John A. Vance, the civil war soldier that you guys had the new tombstone made for. My grandmother was was Millie (Propst) Phares from Upper Tract so I'm related to the Simmons and Propsts from the South fork area as well. I've been trying to straighten out the Propst's and Simmons but I'm still light years from it and that's a topic for another day. Anyway, gotta get back to work. Take care and maybe we'll run into each other the next time I get back to Pendleton co.
