Rhonda,

What fun to have gone "cruising" with Virginia! Wish I had known her.
Living in a very small town in Iowa I am always obliged to "act my age" -
have to keep up appearances you know, grandchildren and all... But turn me
loose at a good genealogy conference - or catch me in an obscure cemetery
where I've just located gg-aunt Matilda, and I can do a really swingin'
Happy Dance!" <g> I shall toast you, also.

Kate
