Hi there
My name is Ken

Would you please add my name to those that would like to find out more
about my ancestors in the Auburn & Summerhill area. There names are Lucius
H. & Rosetts (Perkins) Colby. I know he was a Veterinarian & I would like
to know more about his trade at that time.

I am no longer able to drive a long time only 45 minutes to 2 hours a-day.
You see I have a sickness that deals with sleep. I have to use a machine to
keep my blood going and air to my bran, since my 3rd stroke.
My back has roads and pins since then also after my auto reack.
