Subject: [TOWNSEND] Profits for historical societies


> What exactly is so wrong about making a profit???? Other than it's
> another "no-no" for the politically correct crowd. Our history and

> Sharing information is the lifeblood of genealogy.....it's the only way

> I have donated years of work to various historical and genealogical
