[or-roots] Posting from 1st time user

Many thanks to John Ridgeway for the nice email and explanation of lots of  
stuff!   
 
As a long-time member of or-roots and one who (some years ago, along with  
Marilyn _=jdanmdan at aol.com_ (mailto:=jdanmdan at aol.com) ) helped a great  many 
people with their membership in SDOP  I feel I have a right to say a  few words 
about this.  A great many people in Oregon also helped me because  I was new 
at the time. 
 
Walt Davies is often misunderstood.  He means well, but doesn't take  too 
well to criticism (shut up, Walt)  And that was a whisper, not a  shout.  
HOWEVER, anyone who needs help always gets it, whether it's with  genealogy or a 
place to stay when in the area doing research.  Believe  me, I know all about 
that.   He's also a member of SAR (Is that the  right one I said, Walt) and has 
their annual membership at his home even tho he  and Winnie are getting along in 
years (and also with his heart condition and  being in a wheelchair most of 
the time)..  And some of us wear T-shirts  with a Wagon and O-Roots on them 
(made by Walt when 12 of us met for the first  time at the SDOP picnic.  
 
I'm shocked at all this yelling.      If you ask  for help and get anything 
that makes things clearer  ----- Say "Thank  you"   Or-roots used to be aplace 
where we all helped each  other.
