Dee,
I looked at the index for SCATTERED SEED and found a few names I would love
to have information on, if you would please.
Mary Baskett, pg. 202
Malcolm Clark, pgs.. 7, 8, 206
Nancy Clark, pg 7
Alexander McMillan, pgs. 99,141,209

Any or all of the above would be most appreciated. The book looks
fascinating. Thank you again for all you do for us who are far way from
these great sources.
