Subject: [NYCAYUGA] Cayuga and Regional History Research Week

week?

> Bill,
You do such a great job for all of us who can't get to Cayuga. I have
been there once and my mother and I had a delightful time. Looking forward
to going back again. I have lost my Henry Thatcher 1830's to 1850's. His
wife is remarried in 1850??

THANKS FOR ALL THE PICTURES AND HOURS YOU HAVE DEVOTED TO CAYUGA SO THE REST
OF US CAN ENJOY. Sue
