  I agree, but to save complaints or just share with others Oregon gen list has 25 megs of web space where members can share pictures and documents that are referenced here so every one can see thing with one up load.
       I loved to go to Dells, I sold berries to get the money.
  Now I would like to meet some real people in my home town area.
    We used to have little carnivals in a neighbors back yard, that was fun too l;-)

    I agree wholeheartedly.  Some of us reading this list are genealogists because we are interested in history.  Linking our own families to historical timelines gives history a dimension not found in the text books.  I've found over the years that the people most willing to help me out with a check of a local cemetery or courthouse or newspaper archive are those genealogists to whom the whole field is a giant puzzle to be solved. 

    Seeing the reference to Del's in Medford not only made me smile remembering a long-ago first date and Del's famous barbecue beef burger...it also made me realize that shared experiences, no matter how trivial, are history in the making. The mundane events of daily life are much more to the point than the epic events that make Time magazine covers.

    Besides, this list goes dormant for days or weeks at a time, and if it takes a reference to onions, roses, or hamburgers to wake it up, then so much the better!
