Welcome Back Mark...we're glad you are excited to be back...we look
forward to what that means for all of us. I am still struggling along
with my Long Island City, New York MURPHYS/ADAMS/SWEENEY/AHEARN...I seem
to have figured some of it out but it still leaves me with a long way to
go. Have no clue how to pursue John MURPHY into New Jersey because I
don't know where in New Jersey.

Good luck to all and let me know if and when you bump into any of my
MURPHYS,
Joanie
