Janet thank you very much for all the information. Wow every year there is
a reunion. Well I am sure come more of the family will want to know about
that, and maybe be able to attend, depending on where it is held next
year...

I have printed the information and will review it when I get back. I will
also be sending this to another cousin for her to recheck and see if it
fits with any of our Coulter line...

I leave for Hawaii this weekend..


Alice :-)
