Splendid idea. I wonder how far away from the actual Prater/Prather
line would such a predispostion become insignificant? (I am a
ggrandmother away).

And thanks again, Benjamin, for reminding us that we must be careful &
try hard to document everything! The NGS says 3 separate sources must
document before material is acceptable as fact. Of course this is not
always feasable, even including secondary sources, so if we just keep
this in mind we'll be all right.

Any Prater/Prathers out there with breast cancer rampant in their
families?
