George & Mac:

Many thanks for the update on the Baldwin Cemetery. I'm printing
it out and inserting it into the book "Cemeteries of Dauphin
County" by Karl J. Fox.

I browsed your web site and am impressed at all the information you
have there. Especially the write-up on the MCKAMEY family. Howard
"Mac" Mckamey and I met while participating in target shooting, and
have been keeping in touch ever since. As recent as this morning.

Thank you again for the input on the Baldwin Cemetery. CEFies
