Just wanted to drop you folks a note about something wonderful in our family


Recently, via the message boards and this list, I had the wonderful
opportunity to welcome a lost uncle into my family. He is the son of my
great grandfather--indeed a find! I've corresponded with him via email and
on the telephone and have great hopes of meeting him soon. We were also
able to connect with his half brother in Florida! They have now talked and
are fast forming a wonderful relationship.

Both of these men are seriously considering attending the conference in
Richmond in June. What a celebration that would be!

Christmas was indeed special for me this year, and many thanks to you on
this list--for the MANY things you do, but also for helping me find Uncle
Bill!
