Chuck,

Thanks so much for the lead. You found her, but my information, their
marriage license, shows her as "Anna" Chastain. I bet that whoever copied
the information from the application to the license made a mistake, easy to
do if the "M" in Amy was slurred. The license very clearly says "Anna". That
may be one of the reasons I have had so little success in chasing leads

Thank you very, very much.

Duane

homes.
