To all List members,
I did not mean to break the rules of the list. I have become so frustrated
over not being able to find a marriage lic. for these two.
Please accept my apologies , and be assured it will not happen again.
I am still learning the ropes and I am most gratefull for everyones
patience.
Steve Thompson
