I'm sorry I will have to miss the concert, also. I leave Thursday(11th) for
Hawaii, and I have such a full schedule between now and then I don't even know
when I am going to pack! Perhaps at midnight on Wed. I don't know. Things have
really piled up. I need to go back to work. Retirement is too much work!

I'll be eager to see the Mirror site, although the reason I quit subscribing
years ago was because I didn't know anyone anymore. Unless it said "son or
daughter of" then I might know who we were talking about. Now it would have to
be "grandchild or great grandchild". But I will look forward to keeping up
with the news of the city and county.

Did I tell you about the four volume set of books I found at the genealogical
library here with excerpts from newspapers in Gordon County, GA? I've had more
fun reading about my family, and also other activities of the times. Fun, fun.
Do you keep archives? In a book about the county there was a quote about Uncle
Joab Lewis telling the editor of the local paper about the first train in
Calhoun, GA and he wrote an article from his narrative. I wonder if perhaps I
might be able to get a copy of the article from the paper.

I keep finding more family. A cousin found an article in a Wise Co. book about
our g-g-grandfather. I had thought I'd hit a dead end. The article gave facts
that he was in MO, Wise and Navarro Cos. in TX. Today I found him in the
census at all places, plus in MO he was living in the home of his father-in-
law. Which, someday, when I have more time, perhaps I'll track down in KY, but
he's getting back so far tracking is hard. He was 90 in the 1850 census. But
at least I know his name.

Tell me again when and where you are going? My feeble brain has forgotten.
