If you all are opening the gathering to others, I would like to be
informed on time, place, etc. I'd also like to request that we schedule
it before September 1st and football season. :-)

I don't have much Couch info on the ancient ones but I have done some
research on my lesser known branch which desended from Thomas and Elvie
Couch.

Thanks, Marianne Ryan.
