Dear Cousins,

A SHUFORD-gram has been forwarded to me from Wade Hampton ("Hamp") Shuford
with a request for help (thanks, Hamp!). As this is Catawba-West territory,
I am passing this along as well as a second request from another Shuford.
Hopefully, this will put some SUHFORDs in touch with one another. If those
on the "CC" line are not subscribers to "West of the Catawba" discussion
group, please post me for details on how to join or see the page at:
